Chocolate puff pastry bites


  • 1 sheet puff pastry dough, thawed
  • 1/2 cup bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • Garnish: Powdered sugar
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut puff pastry sheet into thirds, then cut each sheet into 6 rectangles.
2. Make a small pile of chocolate chips on one side of a puff pastry rectangle. Fold other side over chocolate chips and seal by pressing fork tines onto the edges. It should look like a little piece of ravioli. Place on a nonstick cookie sheet, or a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
3. Brush the tops of the puffs with melted butter, and press a bit of flaked coconut onto each square.
4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until coconut is browned and puff pastry squares are a pale golden color. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.

These are awesome! I've just made quiches for a morning tea tomorrow and had a sheet left over, and the pastry came in a bag that doesn't reseal so I can't refreeze it. I thought "hmm what can I make?" then I found this recipe! Some of them exploded because I got overexcited and put too much chocolate in, but they still look cute, but maybe I'll just eat those ones before I pack the rest up to take to work tomorrow.....
