📝 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
• 100g (3.5 oz) semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chopped or chips)
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter (optional, for added richness)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp milk or cream (for egg wash)

Optional Fillings & Toppings:

• 1 tbsp hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• Slivered almonds or crushed hazelnuts
• Sea salt flakes (for a sweet-salty contrast)

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

• Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Lightly flour your work surface and unfold the puff pastry sheet. Roll it out gently to smooth any creases and slightly enlarge the surface.

Step 2: Cut and Fill

• Cut the puff pastry into even rectangles or squares — depending on how large you want each pastry.
• Place a few chocolate pieces or chips in the center of each square. If desired, add a dollop of hazelnut spread or sprinkle with cinnamon.
• Be careful not to overfill — a teaspoon or so of chocolate is plenty.

Step 3: Seal the Edges

• Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling — into triangles, rectangles, or little pockets.
• Press the edges with a fork to seal them tightly and prevent the filling from leaking.
• Transfer to the lined baking tray, spacing them slightly apart.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake

• In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tbsp of milk or cream.
• Brush the tops of the pastries with the egg wash for that beautiful golden finish.
• Optional: Sprinkle with slivered almonds or sea salt.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
