Ingredients

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry store-bought, chilled
  • 6 to 8 Mini Chocolate Bears such as Lindt Teddy or similar small chocolate bears
  • 50 grams Nutella for the "pillows"
  • 1 Egg
  • 10 grams Powdered Sugar for "snow" dusting
  • Small edible stars or sprinkles for decoration. Optional

Method

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut Pastry: Unroll your puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 or 8 equal rectangles (depending on the size of your chocolate bears).
  3. Create the Pillow: Place a small teaspoon of Nutella at the top center of each rectangle.
  4. Tuck in the Bear: Place one chocolate bear on top of the Nutella "pillow."
  5. The Blanket: Take a smaller scrap of puff pastry (or fold the bottom half of your rectangle upwards) and cover the bottom half of the bear, leaving his head and arms peeking out.
  6. Seal: Use a fork to crimp the edges of the "blanket" to the "bed" so it stays secure while baking.
  7. Egg Wash: Lightly brush the pastry (not the chocolate bear!) with beaten egg to get a golden finish.
  8. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
    Note: If you are worried about the chocolate melting too much, you can bake the "beds" first and place the bears in halfway through, or simply accept the slightly "melty" cute look!
  9. Finish: Once cooled slightly, dust with powdered sugar to look like snow.

Notes

  • Chocolate Tip: For the best results, use chocolate bears that are solid rather than hollow, as they hold their shape better in the heat.
  • Flavor Variation: You can place a thin slice of strawberry or banana under the bear for a fruity surprise!
  • Pastry Temperature: Keep your puff pastry very cold until the moment you are ready to cut and fold it; this ensures the best "puff."
