Ingredients

Scale

1 package (17.3 oz) puff pastry sheets (2 sheets)
1 cup dark chocolate chips (approximately 6 oz)
1 large egg (for egg wash)
1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets at room temperature for about 30 minutes until pliable but cold.
Roll out each sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into squares (4×4 inches).
Place a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips in the center of each square.
Fold each pastry square diagonally to form triangles and seal the edges by pressing down or crimping with a fork.
Beat the egg with water and brush it over each pastry for a golden finish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving warm.
