Chocolate Flauta
Chocolate Flauta
I once was in Tampa, Florida, where there was this best little Mexican restaurant. Well, among other delicious deserts served there, was this strange desert that sounds horrible at first! It's the chocolate flauta, which is, basically, a hershey bar wrapped in a flour tortilla and fried. It really is wonderful -- VERY rich -- so give it a shot.
Take one Hershey bar -- or Mr. Goodbar, if you like peanuts. Heat about four inches of oil (not too sure how many cups that is!), and in the process wrap that Hershey bar -- or Mr. Goodbar -- in a warmed tortilla (warmed because when wrapping the bar the tortilla will crack if it's not warmed -- it's not a good thing to have chocolate spilling out into hot oil), and fold all open sides up, fastening it together with toothpicks. Then simply fry it until it is brown. Serve it with vanilla ice cream on top -- it's the best desert!
