Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 18

Ingredients

1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets (1 sheet), thawed
6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 bar (4 ounces) sweet baking chocolate, broken into 18 squares
2/3 cup miniature marshmallows

Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
