I am a bit of a pastry princess. I love good pastry. If you haven't experienced good pastry, potentially you won't know what you are missing out on. These are amazing. (If I say so myself.) A little bit fiddly in that there are several steps to get you to the end result, but what a result! They kept really well in the fridge, luckily as it is a big batch. So plan on making these to feed a crowd (Or just have one a day for a week!) Comforting food, as it should be!

These keep really well in the fridge as a result of the dark chocolate protecting the pastry. Probably around a week in a sealed container in the fridge is good.
