SPICED CHOCOLATE PASTRY TREE

Serves 10

Ingredients

2 Sheets of Ready Rolled Puff Pastry

100g Hazelnut Chocolate Spread (Or any spread of choice)

2 tsp OMG Spiced Chocolate Blend

1 Beaten Egg

1/2 tbsp Icing Sugar

1/4 tsp OMG Spiced Chocolate Blend

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180oC fan, line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper and lay one sheet of Puff Pastry on to the tray

2. Mix 2 tsp of OMG Spiced Chocolate Blend with the Chocolate Spread and spread this to cover the whole Pastry sheet

3. Add the second sheet of Puff Pastry on top & cut in to one large tree shaped triangle (Cut from the centre point at top of Pastry to left & right bottom corners)

4. Use the leftover side pieces of Pastry to cut out shapes of your choice to use for decoration... we chose stars!

5. Leaving a 1-2 inch gap down the centre of the tree, cut lines (they should not meet in the middle) on both sides of the tree, from top to bottom about 1 inch apart to create branches

6. Take each branch one at a time and holding the end, twist the branches away from you a couple of times to create a twisted effect

7. When all the branches are twisted, add your pastry shapes for decoration

8. Beat one egg in a bowl & brush an even layer over the Pastry tree including branches

9. Place in the oven to bake for around 15 mins, until golden brown

10. Mix together the Icing Sugar & OMG Spiced Chocolate Blend and when the pastry tree is out of the oven, lightly dust & enjoy!
