Anyways, she created this dessert so quickly and they looked so incredibly amazing that I just had to try it. I actually made this for Doug as a surprise on our 1 month anniversary night. He LOVED them and was so impressed because they look so fancy. Little did he know how easy they were!!!!
The recipe is below and I would highly recommend it! Since Doug’s favorite candy bar is snickers, I just put ¼ of a snickers bar into the middle and added some semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. It smelled awesome when it was baking and some of the chocolate even bubbled out of the top of the bundle. You can use any type of candy bar or chocolate. I have even made them with marshmallows and peanut butter. YUMMY!!!!!
Chocolate Bundles with Chocolate Ganache
~recipe from Paula Deen's home cooking
1 sheet puff pastry
2 eggs
1 teaspoon heavy cream
8 chocolate kisses (recommended: Hershey's)
8 miniature chocolate candy bars
Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
Sweetened whipped cream, optional Fresh strawberries, sliced, for garnish Mint sprigs, for garnish
Bundles:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Unfold puff pastry and cut the sheet into 2 (4 by 4-inch squares). Beat eggs and cream together to create an egg wash. Brush pastry squares with egg wash. Place 2 chocolate kisses and 1 mini candy bar in the center of each pastry square. Repeat with remaining kisses and mini-bars. Pull corners of the square up around the chocolate, brushing edges with more egg wash, if necessary, to create a secure bundle. Brush exteriors of chocolate bundles with more egg wash. Repeat with remaining bundles.
Place bundles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Ganache:
In a sauce pan bring the heavy cream to a boil. Place the chocolate pieces in a bowl and pour hot cream over top. Whisk until smooth.
Puddle ganache onto a plate and place 1 bundle on top. Top with whipped cream and additional ganache, if desired.
Serve bundles garnished with strawberry slices and mint sprigs.
