Puff Pastry Chocolate Magic

Martha Stewart is no joke. She knows her sweets. This puff pastry dessert is a cinch to make, and isn't too sweet, which I like (the pinch of salt on top helps with that.) It's got chocolate, buttery puff pastry, a few hazlenut pieces and some salt - do I really need to say anything else? I used this recipe, with some very minor tweaks.

Total time to cook: 40 minutes (plus 30 minutes or so to thaw the puff pastry)

Makes eight servings

Ingredients:

1 package frozen puff pastry (should have two sheets), thawed

1 egg, beaten

1 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Honey, for drizzling

Sea salt, for sprinkling

2 tbsp crushed hazlenuts

Steps:

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lay the puff pastry sheets side-by-side on a baking sheet. 

- Fold over each edge by about one inch. Prick the dough all over using a fork (don't go all the way through, though.)

- Brush the edges of the dough with the egg and sprinkle with sugar. Freeze the dough for about 15 minutes.

- Bake the puff pastry until it puffs up (hence the name!) and turns golden brown. 

- Take the dough out of the oven and gently press down the center using a spatula. The edges should still be puffy. 

- Sprinkle the chocolate evenly in the middle of the puff pastry squares. 

- Put the pastry back in the oven for another two minutes, until the chocolate is soft. Spread the chocolate evenly and add the hazlenut pieces. 

- Drizzle the centers with a little honey and sprinkle a small pinch or two of salt on top.

- Let the chocolate cool a little before cutting the pastry into four pieces.
