Review: Arby's Chocolate Turnover

Arby's Chocolate Turnover features a puff pasty turnover filled with a rich chocolate filling and decorated with a zig zag pattern of chocolate icing. It's a limited-time value menu item for $1.

When I first saw the turnover, I was pleasantly surprised to discovered that it full-sized since most bakeries charge over a buck for a turnover.

I bit into it and was again surprised to find that it was super flaky! Most turnovers I've had are more soft throughout, like a supermarket croissant, but without the butter. Arby's Chocolate Turnover was actually crisp for several layers from the surface, only to give way to the softer inner layers: A definite plus in my book.

Mmm... Flaky!

The Hershey-cocoa-flavored filling had a Nutella-like consistency of fairly sweet, semi-dark chocolate.A tad on the sweet side, but very enjoyable. The Sister did not like the filling though, saying it was too much like Nutella. It's a good thing the puff pastry wasn't sweetened; it served a nice counter-balance to the filling.

Overall, I was quite impressed with Arby's Chocolate Turnover. So much so, that I am now curious to try their other turnover flavors.
