Cut into three strips lengthways, then cut each strip into four smaller rectangles.

Step 3.

Lay a line of chocolate across the middle of each rectangle. Fold the pastry over the chocolate and firmly press on the edges to seal.

 

Place the pastries on two baking trays, making sure they're spaced apart.

Brush each pastry with some of the beaten egg then dust with icing sugar.

 

Bake in the preheated oven for around 20-25 minutes until golden.
