Description

Crisp, flaky pastry pockets filled with sweet cherries and melty chocolate, perfect for holiday gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry (17.3 oz) or 2 cans crescent roll dough
  • 24 maraschino cherries, drained and patted dry
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (small squares or mini chips)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tsp water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out dough and cut into rounds.
  3. Place one cherry and a piece of chocolate in the center of each round.
  4. Fold the dough over and seal the edges with a fork.
  5. Mix egg and water to create an egg wash, then brush over the pastry.

Notes

Chill the assembled bombs in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before baking for better puffing. Can be served warm with powdered sugar or a white chocolate drizzle.
