Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into an 18 x 9-inch rectangle. Cut into 18 (3-inch) squares. Press the pastry squares into 18 (2 1/2-inch) muffin-pan cups. Spoon 1 teaspoon peanut butter into each pastry cup. Top each with 1 square chocolate and about 3 marshmallows.
Step 3
Bake for 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown. Let the pastries cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
TIPS
Step 4
• Puff 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.
Step 5
• 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.
Step 6
• 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.
Step 7
• 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.
