Bundles:
1 sheet puff pastry
8 chocolate kisses
8 miniature chocolate candy bars
2 eggs
1 teaspoon heavy cream
Fresh strawberries, for garnish
Parsley sprigs, for garnish
Optional: Sweetened Whipped cream.
Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 oz. milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Unfold puff pastry and cut sheet into two squares, each 4 inches by 4 inches. Beat eggs and mix in cream to create egg wash. Brush pastry squares with egg wash. Place 2 chocolate kisses and 1 mini candy bar in center of each pastry square. Pull corners of square up around the chocolate, brushing edges with more egg wash if necessary to create a secure bundle. Brush exteriors of chocolate bundles with more egg wash. Repeat with remaining bundles.
Place bundles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown.
Chocolate Ganash:
In a saucepan, heat heavy cream to a boil. Place chocolate pieces in a bowl and pour hot cream over top. Whisk until smooth.
Puddle ganache onto a plate and place bundle on top. Top with whipped cream and additional ganache if desired.
Serve bundles topped with chocolate ganash, strawberry slices and mint sprig.
