Cherry Chocolate Turnovers

These three ingredient Cherry Chocolate Turnovers couldn't be easier to make! Served 

right from the oven they are a delicious treat to serve to your family and friends.

Growing up my mom used to buy these delicious little turnovers from the store for a special treat on the weekends. She served them for breakfast and I remember how excited I would get when I knew we were having them. Sometimes they were cherry filled, other times they were apple. No matter what the variety, they were always delicious!

It wasn't until I grew up and started baking that I realized I could make these delicious treats at home. Of course you can make your own homemade dough, but I love using Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets. They are perfect for so many things, like Chicken Pot Pie with Puff Pastry Crust, or this Gruyere & Campari Tomato Tart. But I especially love using them in sweet recipes.

Spinach Gruyere Turnovers

Beautiful green spinach and nutty Gruyere cheese come together inside of 

flaky puff pastry for a delicious, savory dinner!

I have a funny story to tell you. Funny, albeit embarrassing. I've been working on a new recipe for a few weeks now. It was something I developed, but it turned out to be a flop. Not a tiny flop either, a big flop. I made a spinach and Gruyere souffle. I take that back, I made THREE souffles. The first two were failures. The first one didn't rise at all, and the second raised just a bit. Finally, on the third try, I had perfected the recipe and it was puffed up just like a souffle was supposed to be. And it tasted delicious! The bad part was that the pictures were awful. When I say awful, I mean AWFUL. I just couldn't post it and share with you because it looked hideous!

Fast forward a bit, and I decided to give up on my souffle. We needed a break from each other. So instead of making and sharing that souffle, I made spinach Gruyere turnovers instead. Let me just say, this is a very good thing for you. These turnovers are the bomb, if I may say so myself. Beautiful spinach and nutty Gruyere cheese baked into a puff pastry crust. YES please!

Blueberry & Mascarpone Turnovers

This month is all about cheese for our Blogger Recipe Challenge group. Do you have any idea how much I love cheese? Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, mascarpone cheese....if it's a cheese, chances are I'll eat it!

This challenge will be tons of fun for me because I like to incorporate cheese into many different types of recipes. From main dishes to apps to sweet treats, I've got lots of ideas floating around in my head!

Take this first recipe for example. Delicious turnovers filled with a sweet and creamy mixture of mascarpone and blueberries. Trust me when I say these babies are good. And very simple to make too!
