How To Make Almond Chocolate Puff Pastry
- Choose your favorite chocolate and nuts - These are the two key ingredients of this pastry. Depending on the amount of chocolate you like in your pastry, cut the chocolate bar into treat sized pieces. You can go with any type of chocolate, milk, dark, white, or caramel. Peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts - all tastes amazing in this recipe.
- Make puff pastry rolls and bake - I like to cut the thawed pastry into small rectangles. Place the chocolate bar and nuts on one end of puff pastry and roll. Seal and brush with lightly whisked egg. Bake until golden.
