Cut 4 (12-inch) squares of heavy-duty foil. Place 1 foil square on work surface; fold into thirds to make a triple-thick 12x4-inch strip. Starting with one 4-inch end, roll foil strip into tube with 1 1/4-inch inside diameter. Repeat with remaining foil squares.

Place knot on top of each cannoli, tucking ends under sides. Spoon 1 teaspoon chutney onto plate at side of each cannoli.
