Petit Pains au Chocolat

I would have taken a picture of these except we were too excited to wait. I grew up eating these in Morocco and are very popular in Europe. Here is an easy recipe I found in a kid's cookbook.

• 1 sheet froezn puff pastry
• 4 ounces thin semi-sweet chocolate bar
• 1 large egg

• Preheat oven to 400 degress
• Thaw pastry at room temperature for 20 minutes until it is bendable. Cut pastry sheet into 12 squares
• Break or cut chocolate into 12 small rectangles. Place chocolate on one edge of the pastry and rool tight, finishing the seam on the bottom.
• Place the rolled-up pastries, seam side down. Press the open edges of the pastry with fork to seal
• Seperate egg yolk and egg white. Whisk egg yolk and 1 T of water. Using a pastry brush brush the tops of the pastry with egg wash.
• bake 20 minutes or until puffed and golden
• Let cool.
