Tip
Previous tipPuff Pastry fillings should be at room temperature. If they’re hot, they can begin to melt the pastry layers, which will affect the pastry’s ability to rise and puff.
How to tell if Puff Pastry is done baking? Take a sharp knife and nick off a teensy piece to test for crispness and flakiness.
Use a long, heavy rolling pin to roll out your Puff Pastry dough: it helps create a pastry that’s even all over and you won’t have to press down too hard to roll it out.
You can bake Puff Pastry on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For a more even rise, place a sheet of parchment paper on top of your pastry as well.

1 bar (4 ounces) sweet baking chocolate, broken into 18 squares

"This is so easy to make and looks so elegant. I used milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate and I also added peanut butter chips along with the peanut butter. This dessert is really a winner."

"They were very good, but the bottoms were a little soggy. I sprayed the muffin pains lightly with vegetable spray. Was this a mistake. I was afraid they would not come out of the pan. Tasted really good though. very rich."

"I use good quality dark chocolate bars and break into quarters. I also put the chocolate first then put the peanut butter. Also I don't put marshmallows on top while cooking it makes a big mess. When they come out of the oven I put a teaspoon of creamy marshmallow. It melts perfectly. I love it this recipe."

"I made this in bar form instead of individual cups and used chocolate chips instead. It turned out great! Roll it out to the same proportions and spread the p.b. over the whole pastry then sprinkle with chocolate chips and marshmallows. Yummy!"
