Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 4 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate bars, cut into sticks
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • Powdered sugar, for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the puff pastry just enough to smooth seams.
  3. Cut the pastry into long triangles or rectangles.
  4. Place a piece of chocolate near the wide end of each pastry piece.
  5. Roll the pastry over the chocolate and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash.
  7. Bake for 18–22 minutes until puffed, golden, and crisp.
  8. Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.

Notes

  • Keep puff pastry cold for the flakiest results.
  • Avoid overfilling to prevent chocolate from leaking.
  • Use chocolate bars instead of chips for smoother melting.
  • Best enjoyed warm on the day they are baked.
