from the center outwards so not to tear it...

parchment on the SheetPan... Baste the bottom (now upside) of the stack
with the chocolate... Coat with the sugar...

shapes... Leave excess in place and cover all with another 1/2 sized
sheet of Parchment....

Bake at 350@F for 15 minutes until the Phyllo is crisp... Remove the Cast
Iron Skillet, the upper Baking Sheet, and the upper parchment and allow the
rest to cool on a rack for 10 minutes...

Remove the scraps and break up to feed to the Kiddsters... Use the shapes
to garnish your favorite Chocolate Dessert...
