Ingredients
– 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)

– 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions
Creating Banana and Chocolate Puff Pastry is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a floured surface to smooth it out.
3. Cut Pastry: Cut the pastry into rectangles, about 4×6 inches. You can make smaller pieces if you prefer bite-sized treats.
4. Add Filling: Place a few banana slices in the center of each rectangle. Top the bananas with a generous sprinkle of chocolate chips.
5. Fold Pastry: Fold the edges of the pastry over the filling, creating a pocket. Press to seal edges. You can use a fork to crimp them for decoration.
6. Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush the mixture over the top of each pastry. This will give them a beautiful golden color when baked.
7. Sprinkle Sugar: Lightly sprinkle sugar over the egg-washed pastries for added sweetness and crunch.
8. Bake: Place the pastries on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
These steps will guide you to create a delightful pastry that is sure to impress!
