Ingredients

1

egg

1

teaspoon water

1

                        crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count)

1/4

cup raspberry preserves

1/2

cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

1

tablespoon pearl (sanding) sugar or decorator sugar crystals

1

cup milk chocolate chips (6 oz)

1/2

cup whipping cream

1

teaspoon Chambord or black raspberry-flavored liqueur, if desired

Preparation

Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, beat egg with water until frothy; set aside.

On lightly floured work surface, unroll pie crust. Cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips; cut each in half crosswise. Trim ends to straighten. Brush each strip with beaten egg.

On half of the strips, spoon about 1 teaspoon preserves in thin line lengthwise down center of each strip. Top preserves on each with row of miniature semisweet chocolate chips. Cover each topped strip with 1 remaining strip. Use fingers to press edges together. Press edges with fork to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Brush tops of sticks with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, heat milk chocolate chips and cream over medium-low heat until chips are melted. Remove from heat; stir until smooth. Stir in Chambord.

Serve pie sticks with chocolate-raspberry dip.
