Ingredients:
For the Pastry:
- 1 package of store-bought puff pastry sheets
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Pastry
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the store-bought puff pastry on a lightly floured surface.
- Sprinkle sugar, vanilla extract, and salt evenly over the pastry.
- Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into finger-sized strips, about 3 inches long.
Step 2: Bake
- Place the pastry strips onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
- While the pastries are cooling, melt the chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate to achieve a smoother consistency.
Step 4: Coat the Pastries
- Once the pastries are completely cool, dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a fork or tongs to ensure they are fully coated.
- Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated pastries back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Let the Chocolate Set
- Let the chocolate-coated pastries sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate has fully set.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
- These chocolate-coated finger pastries are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
