Oh, now I'm getting to the very, very best part: dessert.
0:08
And I just call it Chocolate Bundles.
0:11
Michael's gonna call it fabulously delicious,
0:15
but we're gonna start with a puff pastry,
0:17
just a frozen puff pastry that you buy at the grocery store.
0:21
And you're gonna be just tickled pink
0:23
when you find out just how quick and easy this dessert is.
0:27
It's gonna look like you've spent a lot of time
0:30
You'll find the instructions to working the puff pastry
0:35
It'll tell you to let it sit out on the counter
0:37
for about 20 minutes and thaw out.
0:41
And then you can very gently just unwrap it.
0:45
And I'm gonna cut these into about a four inch square.
0:49
So that will give us four servings from one sheet.
0:55
Now, I'm gonna make an egg wash
1:02
because we're gonna bundle these up
1:04
like a little beggar's purse.
1:07
Now I'm gonna add a little heavy cream to our eggs.
1:12
Give those a quick beat.
1:14
If y'all have ever seen me do a Brie en Croute,
1:17
sometimes I do my Bries in bundles.
1:20
Well, this is kinda the same idea for this dessert.
1:24
Now I'm gonna brush this entire inside with the egg
1:27
because when we do it up in our little purses,
1:30
we want that dough to be able to stick to each other.
1:35
Now for the good part.
1:37
You can do anything you want to do,
1:39
but I'm using one of Michael's favorite candies.
1:43
So I'm gonna put a couple of chocolate candies in it,
1:46
and then I'm just gonna bundle this up.
1:49
And I'm gonna give it a twist.
1:53
And it looks just like a little purse.
1:55
I heard the other day, in fact, we were having a discussion
1:58
that men react very romantically
2:02
to the smell of baking bread.
2:05
And another little tidbit of information
2:07
is they say that chocolate releases
2:11
something in the female brain
2:13
that is the same feeling that you have when we're in love.
2:16
So I've got the best of both here.
2:19
I've got bread and I've got the candy,
2:22
a perfect combination.
2:24
All right, now I'm gonna put these on the cookie sheet,
2:28
and now I'm gonna brush the outside
2:31
with the milk and egg combination
2:32
so that they'll be nice and shiny
2:34
and have a pretty finish to them.
2:36
You can have these done in just a matter of a few minutes
2:41
But to me, this is a little bit romantical
2:43
'cause of the combinations of the foods.
2:46
All right, now we're gonna stick these
2:47
in a 350 preheated degree oven
2:50
until they're nice and brown.
2:52
All right, let's get these in the oven.
2:55
And while these are making,
2:57
we're not done with those bundles yet.
3:00
I'm gonna make a chocolate ganache just in case
3:03
there's not enough chocolate oozing out of that bread.
3:07
Ganache is just a fancy word for chocolate and heavy cream.
3:12
So we're just gonna scald this off,
3:15
and then we're gonna pour it over our broken chocolate.
3:18
And the heat from the heavy cream
3:20
is gonna melt that chocolate.
3:23
All right, our cream's hot.
3:29
I'm just gonna stir that together.
3:30
It won't take it but just a minute to melt that chocolate
3:35
'cause chocolate melts pretty fast.
3:38
You know, it's just really, really chocolatey.
3:42
But look at this ganache, how pretty that is.
3:48
I've got some bundles in the other oven.
3:55
Look at the chocolate bubbling out of that one.
3:59
I wanna show y'all how I'm gonna serve this to Michael.
4:03
I'm gonna put the ganache on the bottom
4:17
and the strawberry and mint right there,
4:23
and then just a little dribble on top.
4:27
You can have this fabulous dessert
4:29
within a matter of a few minutes.
4:31
Let's see what we've got.
4:36
Why don't we kind of cut him open and see...
4:41
see what's gonna happen.
4:43
Oh, look at that chocolate.
4:46
Mm. I think it needs whipping cream too...
4:51
just put down in that little hole.
5:05
I'm gonna have him eating out of the palm of my hand.
5:07
Y'all don't miss this one.
5:09
Your man or your woman'll love you for it.
5:12

5:16
