Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush
  • Knife or Pizza Cutter
  • Small Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets) thawed
  • 1.25 cups dark chocolate chips
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water for egg wash
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the egg and water in a small bowl to make the egg wash. Set aside.
  • Unfold the thawed puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 6 equal rectangles (12 total).
  • Add a spoonful of chocolate chips in the center of each rectangle. Don’t overfill.
  • Fold each rectangle from the short edge over the filling, then again to seal. Use a dab of water along the edge if needed.
  • Place seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush tops with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20–23 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Check at 15 minutes as ovens vary.
  • Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Serve warm the same day for best texture. For a twist, try adding cinnamon sugar, raspberry jam, or peanut butter as a filling. You can prep the night before and bake fresh in the morning.
