Valentine’s Day Dessert

by Farley

chocolate bundlesIf you’re looking for a Valentine’s dessert, I’ve got the one for you. I have made Paula Deen’s chocolate bundles more times than I can count. They’re easy and tasty and really impress, looking like you worked harder than you actually did. …

What to do
Set the oven to 350 degrees. Starting off with a puff pastry sheet that is room temperature, I make smaller bundles than Paula, cutting the sheet into 9 equal squares. And instead of Hershey’s kisses, I use Nestle’s Treasures dark chocolate truffles, which you should go ahead and unwrap—one for each square. Also, crack an egg into a small bowl and whisk in a teaspoon of water for a wash. Then on a floured surface, roll each pastry portion out a little to make the square about 4-5 inches. Brush a bit of the egg wash on the inside, place the candy in the center, then pull up the sides and twist to close. Then place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and brush the top with the egg wash. Repeat all squares then bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. (Paula calls for longer, but these bundles are smaller and don’t take as long.)

I usually serve these with fresh whipped cream with vanilla. Though the last time, I did make the ganache from the recipe, and it was oh so good.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
