👩🍳 How to Make Them:
🔪 1. Cut the pastry:
Unroll your puff pastry and slice it into 6 equal rectangles. Easy peasy!
🍫 2. Add the chocolate:
Place 2 squares of chocolate or 1 small chocolate stick on one half of each rectangle.
Fold the other half over and press the edges with a fork to seal in all that gooey goodness.
✨ 3. Brush for golden shine:
Mix the egg yolk and milk, then brush the tops of your pastries.
✨ This is what gives them that beautiful golden color!

Place your pastries on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 18–20 minutes, until puffed and golden.
❄️ 5. Final touch:
Let them cool for 5 minutes, then lightly dust with powdered sugar. Pure magic ✨
