Making Jelly Cocoa Rugelach Filling: Part 1

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Rachel for Expert Village. Now we are going to do another filling. It's a cocoa filling. We take a plain jelly and again we smear it. This time it's not going to be too much jelly. Just a little bit jelly. The reason for it is because we want the cocoa that we are going to put soon on it to stick to it. We don't want too much of the jelly flavor in it. Just kind of a dough we can call it to glue the cocoa into the dough. Now I am going to mix the sugar and the cocoa. I put 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cocoa and I am going to mix it up together and then I am going to put it around on top of the jelly. There we go. I'm going to take a little bit of the nuts to and put it on the top and then I am going to take a little bit of bread crumbs. As I said before the bread crumbs is taking all of the liquids out and it helps the filling stay inside and not run out. I don't put too much. But I just kind of sprinkle it on top."
