--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   6      oz            Bittersweet chocolate
     1/2  c             Granulated sugar
   8                    Filo sheets -- defrosted
     1/2  c             Unsalted butter -- melted

Line an 11x17" baking tray with parchment paper.

Break up 4 oz chocolate into 1/2 oz pieces. Set aside. In a food
processor, finely grind the remaining chocolate with the sugar. Lay
8 sheets of filo out on top of each other. Place one sheet lengthwise
on the work surface. Keep the remaining sheets covered with a damp
towel.

Brush the sheet with some melted butter. Sprinkle with 1-1/2 tb sugar
mixture. Place a 2nd sheet over the sugared sheet. Butter the 2nd
sheet and sprinkle with the sugar mixture. Add 2 more sheets,
buttering and sprinkling between each.

Cut the filo horizontally into 4 even strips. Starting at the left
side of one of the strips, place 1/2 oz chocolate 2" from the end.
Fold the filo that is to the left of the piece of chocolate over the
chocolate toward the back side of the strip, making a 3" triangle.
The left end of the filo should be even with the back edge. Fold the
piece of chocolate to the right, over itself, retaining the
triangular shape. Fold the chocolate piece toward the front edge of
the strip. Continue wrapping the chocolate, alternating the direction
with each fold, until you get to the end. It is like folding a flag.

Wrap the other strips in the same manner. With the remaining sheets,
make 4 more chocolate-filled triangles. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Place the triangles on the baking sheet. Bake until golden brown,
about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
