Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Defrost the puff pastry sheets if frozen, ensuring they are pliable but still cold to the touch.

Step 3

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out each puff pastry sheet into a square about 12 inches wide.

Step 4

Cut each pastry sheet into four equal squares, for a total of eight squares.

Step 5

Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the center of each square.

Step 6

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the chocolate inside. Press the edges together with a fork to seal them tightly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the tablespoon of milk to create an egg wash.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the pastry triangles with the egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish when baked.

Step 9

Arrange the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches of space between each piece.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 12

Dust the tops generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.
