Ingredients 1 (17 1/4-oz) package frozen puff pastry sheets thawed 1 large egg 1/3 cup raspberry jam 3 1/2 ounces fine-quality milk chocolate finely chopped

Instructions
Special equipment: parchment paper

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll out 1 puff pastry sheet into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, then brush off excess flour from both sides. Cut into 16 squares.

Whisk together egg and a pinch of salt. Place 1/2 teaspoon jam and 1 teaspoon chocolate in center of each square, then brush edges of squares with some of beaten egg. Fold each square in half to form a triangle, pressing edges to seal. Brush tops of pastries with some of remaining egg and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Chill on sheet while making 16 more pastries in same manner, transferring to second baking sheet.

Bake pastries, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Cool on sheets on racks 5 minutes. Serve warm.

notes:  My friends and I made these in our dorm kitchen last night (with a few adjustments to the procedure - we didn't have a rolling pin). If we can do it at college, anyone can do it at home. Most of the turnovers oozed filling out of the seams, but some people enjoyed the "caramelized" (read: slightly burned) flavor of the leaked preserves.
