Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 3½ ounces dark chocolate (good quality)
- 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped almonds (or hazelnuts or walnuts)
EXTRAS
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375F / 190C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry and gently roll a few times to even it out. Cover half the pastry with the melted chocolate and sprinkle with the chopped nuts. Fold the plain pastry over the chocolate and seal the edges well. Work as quickly as possible, as the chocolate will firm up.
- Cut the pastry into 6-8 strips, twisting each strip (see photos). Roll the twisted strips into a circle and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until golden. Let cool on a wire rack, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- If serving the day, baked pastries can sit out at room temperature. This will help them stay flakier. While these taste best fresh, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Reheat slightly in the microwave for that fresh baked taste.
