Chocolate Bundles with Chocolate Sauce

Here is a recipe that would be perfect for your Valentine!!

I can't wait to make them again and stuff them with apples and caramel!!

This is simple enough it would be lots of fun to make with your kids!!

Start with your puff pastry. 

Sprinkle your surface with flour.

Allow puff pastry to thaw, covered for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Start your egg wash by beating the eggs. 

Add the cream. 

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I'm not very good at tearing it out!!

Unfold the pastry and cut the sheet into four 4 by 4 squares.

Brush the entire surface of each pastry square with the egg wash.

Pick out your favorite candy. There only happened to be 2 snickers left by the time I made these... I blame the hubby!! hehe!

In the center place 2 chocolate kisses and 2 mini candy bars.

Pull the corner of each square up around the chocolate and twist the top of the dough to complete the 'bundle."

Brush the exterior of the bundle with more egg wash.

Place the bundles on the cookie sheet. 

Bake about 35 minutes, until golden brown.

To make the chocolate sauce,

in a small saucepan, bring the cream to a boil and add the chocolate pieces.

Whisk until the sauce is smooth.

Slice up some strawberries to make it look pretty!!

Top with sweetened whipped cream and enjoy!!
