Delight in these easy-to-make chocolate-filled puff pastry rolls, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Cut the puff pastry into equal squares.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
Brush the top of each puff pastry square with beaten egg.
This helps the pastry turn golden and shiny.
Place a piece of chocolate on one edge of each square.
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
Roll up the pastry squares tightly, enclosing the chocolate.
Seal the edges slightly to prevent the chocolate from leaking.
Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Spacing them out ensures even baking.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining egg.
This gives the pastries a beautiful golden finish.
Sprinkle a little sugar over the tops.
This adds a touch of sweetness and crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
These are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
