Puff Pastry Hearts (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 egg: Acts as the glue and gives the pastries a shiny, golden glaze.
02 - 1 (450g) package frozen butter puff pastry, thawed: The base for the flaky layers.
03 - ⅔ cup chopped milk chocolate: Drizzle it on top for a sweet finish.
04 - ¼ cup toasted sliced almonds: Gives a crunchy, nutty touch on top.
05 - 4 tbsp mini chocolate chips: Sweet little bites of melted chocolate inside.

# Instructions:

01 - Warm up your oven to 425°F (220°C) and get a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
02 - Cut the puff pastry into eight even strips, brushing one side of four strips generously with the egg wash.
03 - Spread 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips down the middle of each coated strip.
04 - Lay the unbrushed strips on top of the chocolate-coated ones, pressing the edges together to stick.
05 - Roll each strip into a rope about 14 inches long, fold it into a heart, and pinch the bottom tip to hold the shape.
06 - Arrange the hearts on your lined baking sheet, bake for 20 minutes until golden, and let them cool for 5 minutes.
07 - Melt the milk chocolate, drizzle it all over the pastries, and sprinkle with the almond slices for crunchiness.
08 - Let everything cool completely to firm up before you dig in.

# Notes:

01 - These puff pastry hearts have flaky layers, rich chocolate, and crunchy almonds, all shaped into charming hearts.
02 - Ideal for holidays, romantic celebrations, or just as a fun treat to share with people you care about.
