  • Remove from the oven and allow the chocolate puff pastry twists to cool in the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Read the thaw instructions of the puff pastry dough carefully. Right temperature is key when working with puff pastry dough. If it's warmer than needed it will start sticking. On the contrary if it's too cold it will crack.
  • If the puff pastry sheet has a lot of creases place it on a lightly floured surface and roll over it lightly with a rolling pin.
  • If the hazelnut spread is cold, pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. It will be easier to spread.
  • Chocolate Puff Pastry Twists are best served warm, the same day they're made. You may store leftovers covered, for up to 2 days. Broil before serving to restore the crunchy texture.
  • You may freeze chocolate puff pastry twists for up to 2 months. Place in the freezer uncovered until frozen, then transfer to freezer safe storage bags. Thaw thoroughly before removing from the freezer bag and reheat in the oven before serving.
