Ingredients

  • Demerara sugar, optional
  • Sliced almonds, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold both pieces of puff pastry. Using the folds as a guide, place 1½ Hershey's bars down the center of each piece.
  3. Usding a sharp knife, cut diagonal cuts from the fold line to the edge on both left and right sides, about ¾-inch apart. (approximately 8 or 9 cuts) Discard the corner piece. (2 per pastry)
  4. Begin folding cut pieces over the chocolate, alternating left and right pieces and overlapping until you have a braid pattern.
  5. Brush beaten egg over braid. Sprinkle with sugar and almonds. Bake until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve.
