Pastry is really versatile and can be used in both savoury and sweet recipes. Savoury such as pot pies & pastry slices and sweet using flavours such as chocolate or raspberry & almond. I decided to make pastries with Kinder pastries because they’re sweet, creamy and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised with how these turned out so I decided to share the recipe.

Top tips of making Kinder Pastries
- Choose Quality Puff Pastry: Whether store-bought or homemade, opt for high-quality puff pastry. A good pastry is the foundation for creating a light, flaky texture.
- Use Fresh Kinder Chocolate: Ensure your Kinder chocolates are fresh and haven’t been exposed to high temperatures. Use fresh chocolate to get that delightful ooey-gooey texture when baked.
- Cut Chocolate to Size: Cut the Kinder chocolates to fit the size of your pastry squares precisely, ensuring even distribution of chocolate in every bite.
- Seal the Edges Well: Use a fork to press and secure the edges firmly by properly sealing the edges of the puff pastry. This will prevent the chocolate from leaking during baking.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brushing the pastries with egg wash before baking adds a beautiful golden finish to the puff pastry.
More tips
- Adjust Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the pastries while baking. The exact baking time may vary based on your oven and the thickness of the puff pastry so aim for a golden-brown colour. If you’re using ready to roll pastry then read the package instructions to know which gas mark to use.
- Let Them Cool Slightly: Allow the Kinder pastries to cool for a few minutes after baking as this will allow the chocolate to set slightly and make them easier to handle.
- Dust with Icing Sugar: Dusting the pastries with icing sugar before serving adds an elegant touch and compliments the sweetness of the Kinder chocolate.
- Serve Warm: They are best enjoyed warm and if they cool down, a quick warm-up in the oven for a few minutes can revive their delightful texture. You want the chocolate to be nice a and gooey inside as it will taste to much better with the flaky pastry.
- Get Creative with Fillings: While Kinder chocolate is the star don’t hesitate to get creative with additional fillings. You can add crushed nuts, caramel, or a swirl of Nutella to take your pastries to the next level
