Puff Pastry – Chocolate Pouches

I adapted this recipe from Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Croissants, well…it isn’t really that much of an adaptation, more like some happy accident. I was trying to make croissants at first but it ended up looking more like crabs that has lost its pincers and legs. So I twisted the long ends on top into a somewhat-knot to make it into pouches. But I love how easy this was to make and they taste DIVINE!!!

It is a no-fuss recipe because you can use whatever chocolate bars available to you and wrap the puff pastry around it as filling. For these pouches here, I used chocolate from Beryl’s.

Please do not think that you have to make it into pouches, if you manage to roll it into a perfect croissant then all the more power to you. But if in any case that fails, you can always transform it into a pouch like what I did! 🙂
