Directions for Chocolate Lovers Piñata
- 1
Prepare the Chocolate Empanada Bites
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Roll out the dough and cut into circles. Place a few chocolate chips in the center of each circle, fold over, seal the edges, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until firm. Let cool.
