Chocolate Bundles with Chocolate Ganache
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen

Ingredients
Bundles:
1 sheet puff pastry
2 eggs
1 teaspoon heavy cream
8 chocolate kisses
8 miniature chocolate candy bars

Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 ounces milk chocolate, broken into small pieces

Sweetened whipped cream, optional
Fresh strawberries, sliced, for garnish
Mint sprigs, for garnish

Directions
Bundles: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Unfold puff pastry and cut the sheet into 2 (4 by 4-inch squares). Beat eggs and
cream together to create an egg wash. Brush pastry squares with egg wash. Place 2
chocolate kisses and 1 mini candy bar in the center of each pastry square. Repeat
with remaining kisses and mini-bars. Pull corners of the square up around the
chocolate, brushing edges with more egg wash, if necessary, to create a secure
bundle. Brush exteriors of chocolate bundles with more egg wash. Repeat with
remaining bundles.

Place bundles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35
minutes, or until golden brown.

Ingredients
Ganache:

Directions
In a sauce pan bring the heavy cream to a boil. Place
the chocolate pieces in a bowl and pour hot cream over top. Whisk until smooth.
Puddle ganache onto a plate and place 1 bundle on top. Top with whipped cream and
additional ganache, if desired.

Serve bundles garnished with strawberry slices and mint sprigs.
