Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth any creases.
- In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
- Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over half of the pastry sheet. Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to enclose it.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the folded pastry into 1-inch strips.
- Carefully twist each strip a few times to create a spiral shape. Place each twist on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Brush each twist with the beaten egg to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and puffed.
- Allow the twists to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the twists and freeze them on a baking sheet. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Variation: Add a tablespoon of chopped nuts to the filling for extra crunch, or substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer taste.
