Sweet Puff Pastry Pockets For Your Sweetheart

Have you seen these puff pastry pockets that have been taking over the internet?  I stumbled on Tasty's and I am hooked! 

Everyone is having so much fun with their own spins and takes on these fun little treats.  I decided to try out the "sweet" version for upcoming Valentine's Day before I cut myself off completely from all that is good (which means bad, for me), for Lent.  After Easter though, I cannot wait to try out the "savory" version of these pockets.

One of the pockets in this recipe calls for bananas and hazelnut spread.  Well, I went to make them and someone at all the bananas.  It was freezing outside and I was not about to hit the market for one banana.  I did however, have some caramels and pecans, so played with it and made a Turtle Praline version...WOW!!

I hope you all stay safe, healthy, sparkly, and have a Blessed weekend!

1 package frozen puff pastry, thawed

1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread

1/2 banana, sliced

1/4 cup raspberry jam

1/2 chocolate bar, broken into 4 squares

1/4 cup chocolate chips

12 mini marshmallows

1/2 graham cracker, broken into 4 squares

egg wash

Lay a sheet of puff pastry dough over ice cube tray and carefully press into the dough forming it to the ice tray.

Place a spoonful of chocolate hazelnut spread and a slice of banana in the first four cube divots.

Place a spoonful of raspberry jam and a piece of chocolate in the middle four cube divots.

Place the chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham cracker into the last 4 cube divots.

Place the other sheet of puff pastry over the ice cube tray and use a rolling pin to seal it.  Chill for at least 10 minutes.  While puff pastry is chilling, preheat oven to 400 degrees.

On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, invert the ice cube tray releasing the puff pastry pockets.

Using a knife cut any excess dough from the sides.  

Using a fork, press into the edges of the pastry and seal.

Brush the pastry with egg wash and bake for 30 minutes*.

*Depending on how your oven runs, check the pastry after 20 minutes. 

Enjoy!
