Well let us introduce you to the easiest and tastiest dessert to whip up: Caramel Chocolate Pastry Puffs by our friend @spoonful.of.something! A simple yet stunning dessert, where the star of the show is our NEW Rich Caramel + Milk Chocolate bar , which creates an ooey gooey chocolate center with a hidden caramel delight!

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, frozen
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 bar of Endangered Species Rich Caramel + Milk Chocolate Bar
• 1/2 cup coconut flakes, toasted
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp water

1. Using a grater, carefully grate the frozen butter on the larger hole option of the grater. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, attach the dough hook. Mix together the flour, salt, and grated butter. Add in the water gradually. Allow the water to bring the dough together to form a ball. Do not over knead the dough.
3. Lightly flour a surface and place the dough on top. Using a rolling-pin, roll the dough into a rectangle that is approximately 1/4 inch thick. Gently fold the dough into thirds. Wrap with plastic tightly and refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours.
4. When ready, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Create the egg wash by mixing the egg and water in a bowl until they blend together. Set aside.
6. Take the dough out of the fridge and gently unfold it. Cut the dough into 6 equal squares. Top each square with 1 tablespoon of coconut flakes and then a chocolate square. Wrap the pastry as you see fit.* Gently brush the pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes and then serve fresh!
