These are a simple little roll-up I came up with – they’re not overly sweet. They would make a nice mini-pastry for a special breakfast. Or serve with coffee for a subtly sweet dessert. Take care not to burn the walnuts – they don’t need very long in the pan at all.

1 Pie Crust
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
Scant 1/8 cup very finely chopped walnuts
¼ cup Raspberry Jam or Preserves (not jelly)
¼ cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips

1- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2- Roll out pie crust on a cutting board. Spread jam evenly over crust almost to the edges, and set aside.
3- In a small skillet over medium low heat, melt butter. Add the very finely chopped walnuts and the brown sugar, and sauté just long enough to coat the nuts. Immediately remove pan from heat and sprinkle evenly over raspberry jam.
4- Slice crust pie-style into 16 triangles. Take each triangle and starting at the outside roll up, then set on a cookie sheet, making sure the small point of the rollup is facing down.
5- Bake about 12-16 minutes at 350 degrees. Move to a tray or plate.
6- Once the rollups are cooled, carefully melt the chocolate chips and drizzle on top in a zig zag pattern.
7- Enjoy! Makes 16 rollups.

Obviously, you could make any number of variations on this, besides raspberry/walnut/chocolate, just use your imagination! Have any ideas?
