Petit Pain au Chocolat Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

15 20 35

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1 egg, beaten
DRIZZLE:
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
4 teaspoons hot water

Directions

Unfold puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out into a 10-in. square. Cut into four squares.
Place 2 tablespoons chocolate chips in the center of each square. Brush edges with egg. Fold one corner over filling to the opposite corner, forming a triangle; press edges to seal. Brush tops with remaining egg. Transfer to a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over pastries. Yield: 4 servings.
