There are many things my grandma taught me, but one of them is: never let dough go to waste, not in this house!
I don’t want to say we invented this (but maybe we did), but it’s a pretty great idea nonetheless.
Dates-in-a-blanket (copyrighted, just in case)
You’ll need:
- leftover puff pastry (store-bought is totally fine)
- medjool dates
- nuts (pistachio, pine, pecan, any)
- baking chocolate (over 50% cocoa butter)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Take the pits out of the dates and replace them with a piece of chocolate and several nuts. Take small square piece of rolled out puff pastry and wrap it around the date (pig-in-a-blanket style). Place in paper muffin or cupcake cups.
Brush with egg wash and bake at 175 C for 10-15 minutes until puffy and golden.
Let cool slightly and enjoy! (also quite enjoyable when not warm) Gooey chocolate deliciousness.
But wanna state that this is extremely helpful, Thanks for taking your time to write this.
