Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawd
4 ouces semi sweet baking chocolate
1 egg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Lay a sheet of thawed puff pastry on a cutting board. Cut it in 6 equal rectangles and place the chocolate on the left side.
Fold the dough with chocolate and place it on a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk an egg in a bowl with a tablespoon of water and brush the tops of the puff pastry. As an option, you can also sprinkle over a tablespoon of coarse sugar.
Bake at 400F for about 20-22 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the puff pastry is baked through.
When done, take it out of the oven and let sit on the countertop for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep the dough cold. When defrosting the dough, make sure it doesn’t get too warm. Otherwise, it might not rise and loose the flaky texture. If the dough got too warm at some point, you can put it in refrigerator until it firms.
Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven ahead of time. Hot oven is crucial for puff pastry to separate the layers and make the dough light and flaky.
Use good quality ingredients. The better quality puff pastry and chocolate you use, the better the results will be.
