Chocolate Sugar Pastries

Ingredients

  • 1/2 homemade puff pastry dough recipe (or 1 sheet of storebought pastry)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 4 oz roughly chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, and spray a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Set aside. 

  2. If you're working with homemade pastry dough, roll it out to a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. If you have store-bought, it should already be rolled out to about that thickness. 

  3. Sweep away any flour on your surface used for rolling out the dough, and sprinkle on about half of the sugar. Lay your pastry on top, and sprinkle the remaining sugar evenly over the top. Gently roll the sugar into the pastry to get it to stick. 

  4. Cut the pastry into 2 inch squares. I got 12 out of mine, but you may get more or less depending on the amount of pastry you have. 

  5. Place each square into a muffin cup, press it into the cup. Fill each square with a few pieces of dark chocolate, and then pinch the corners of the pastry together in the center. This doesn't have to be perfect- they will burst open a bit as they bake! 

  6. Sprinkle the tops with additional sugar, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastries are a deep golden brown. Cool and enjoy!
