Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package (2 sheets, thawed) Puff Pastry Sheets
- 100 grams (dark or milk chocolate, divided into small rectangles) Chocolate Bars
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for sprinkling) Granulated Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. If the sheets are large, you can trim and even them out to form clean rectangles.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 evenly sized rectangles, yielding a total of 12 rectangles.
Place 1-2 small rectangles of chocolate near one end of each puff pastry piece, leaving a bit of space at the edges.
Roll the pastry over the chocolate, starting from the chocolate side, to encase it completely. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to create an egg wash.
Brush the tops of each pastry with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with a little granulated sugar for added sweetness and shine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.
Enjoy the flaky, chocolaty goodness with coffee or tea!
