Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff Pastry
• about 113 g Dark Chocolate
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Take the 1 sheet of puff pastry and cut it into small squares, about 5.08 × 5.08 cm each.
3. 3Cut the about 113 g of dark chocolate into small batons or pieces, roughly the size of your pastry squares.
4. 4Place one piece of the about 113 g of dark chocolate in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the square over the chocolate to create a triangle or rectangle shape. Press the edges firmly together and then use a fork to seal them completely.
5. 5In a small bowl, whisk together the 1 large egg and the 1 tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each folded pastry with this egg wash.
6. 6Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven at 190°C for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and a deep golden brown color.
7. 7Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. This allows them to set slightly.
