- Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to make the egg wash.1 large egg, 1 tablespoon water

- Fold the sides of the pastry over the chocolate. Brush a small amount of egg wash along the seam, fold the remaining edge over, and press firmly to seal.
- Place the pastries seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second pastry sheet and remaining chocolate.
- Brush the tops and sides with the remaining egg wash. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, or until puffed and deep golden brown.
- Dust the pastries with powdered sugar. Serve warm or at room temperature.Powdered sugar
Notes
- Keep the puff pastry cool while working. If it becomes soft or sticky, refrigerate it for a few minutes before continuing.
- Hershey’s dark chocolate bars work well because they are easy to divide into sections and do not become overly runny as they bake.
- Press the seams firmly and place them seam-side down to help prevent the chocolate from leaking.
- Store the cooled pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat them briefly in a 300°F oven or air fryer.
- To freeze, wrap the cooled pastries individually and place them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
