Pain au Chocolat Bites

Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff Pastry
• 4 ounces Dark Chocolate
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. 2Take the 1 sheet of puff pastry and cut it into small squares, about 2x2 inches each.
3. 3Cut the 4 ounces of dark chocolate into small batons or pieces, roughly the size of your pastry squares.
4. 4Place one piece of the 4 ounces 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 375°F (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.
