   Preheat the oven to 180C.

3. 3

   If using a chocolate bar, break it into pieces along the lines.

   If you use a pizza cutter to cut the pie crusts, it's easy and they turn out really nice.

   Cut the pie crusts to be just slightly larger than the chocolate piece.

   Coat the edges with water and connect top and bottom securely.

   This is Tirol Brand chocolate.

    I believe it's best to use a smaller fork.

    When they're fresh from the oven, they'll have expanded a lot, but after 5 minutes, they shrink back down.

    I think they are actually bigger than the pictures depict.

    They're quite filling.
