6 thoughts on “Chocolate Puff Pastry Sleeping Bears”
question: Is there a type of chocolate reccomended that will not melt as fast?
should I freeze the chocolate first?
There is no need to freeze the chocolate first! We used the Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar.
Has anyone tried tucking a couple of mini marshmallows in the pastry?
We haven’t tried that, but it sounds like a great idea!
Can I make these the night before a baby shower?
You should be able to make them the night before! Just store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll be great!
