Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 100 grams Dark chocolate
• 50 grams Almonds
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Roughly chop the chocolate and almonds into small pieces.

Step 4

Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to remove any creases and make it slightly thinner.

Step 5

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and brush it over both sides of the pastry sheets.

Step 6

Sprinkle one tablespoon of sugar over the surface of the pastry.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the chopped chocolate and almonds over one of the pastry sheets.

Step 8

Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the top, pressing gently to encase the chocolate and almond mixture.

Step 9

Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry into rectangles, approximately 4x6 cm in size.

Step 10

In a small bowl, beat the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

Step 11

Brush the surface of each pastry rectangle with the egg wash to ensure a golden finish.

Step 12

Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.

Step 14

Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.
