Chocolate banana in puff pastry: you’ve never tried such an easy and delicious snack!

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your pastries bake evenly and become wonderfully crispy.
2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut them into squares or rectangles, about 4 inches wide.
3. Add the Filling: Place a slice of banana in the center of each pastry square, then top it with a generous amount of chocolate. If you’re using chocolate chips or chunks, sprinkle them over the banana.
4. Seal the Pastry: Fold the pastry over to create a pocket, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Press the edges firmly to seal, and you can use a fork to crimp the edges for an added decorative touch.
5. Brush with Egg Wash: If you’re using an egg wash, brush it on the top of each pastry to achieve a beautiful golden color while baking.
6. Bake: Place the pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the pastries to cool slightly before serving. They’re best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
