Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets
- 20 pieces Caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or pecans)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets if they are too thick. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, resulting in 8 pieces total.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the caramel candies with the heavy cream, stirring continuously, until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the caramel mixture into the center of each puff pastry square. Sprinkle a small amount of chopped nuts over the caramel.
Fold the opposite corners of each square together over the filling to form a loose pocket. Pinch the seams gently to seal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the puff pastry pockets.
Sprinkle a light coating of brown sugar over the tops for extra sweetness and crunch.
Place the prepared Scrumpchies onto the lined baking sheet, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Allow the Scrumpchies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
