2 tablespoons sugar ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon almond
extract 1 tablespoon powdered sugar 3 cups assorted fresh
berries 1/3 cup chocolate flavored syrup 2 tablespoons sliced
almonds (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll a 15-inch sheet of foil into a 15-inch log 1 ½ inches in

Bake slices 5 to 7 minutes or until light golden brown around
edges.

cream. Drizzle with chocolate. Garnish with nuts.
