Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 8 ounces semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or buttered waxed paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry on a work surface. Brush the pastry generously with melted butter.
- In a small bowl, toss together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the pastry.
- Working lengthwise, cut the pastry in half and then cut each half into 6 even strips, each 3/4-inch wide. Twist the strips to make long twisted “straws”.
- Transfer to the prepared pan, pushing the ends down with your thumb to help them stay in place on the pan and remain twisted. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- To make the sauce, heat the milk in a saucepan. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and whisk to melt it. Whisk in the peanut butter until smooth. Keep sauce warm until ready to serve.
- To serve, place the twists on a tray and serve with the sauce along side for dipping.

Reviews
400 degrees for 20 minutes was bit long. Odd. My first batch came out burnt. Tried it again later for about 12-15 minutes. Perfect! Yummy with afternoon coffee/tea.
I made this recipe b/c I had some leftover puff pastry an brought them to a party. They were gone w/in 10 minutes. I have also made them w/pie crust; definitely not as good.
It’s OK. I wanted a recipe that didn’t require a sauce. I substituted cinnamon sugar dust after using egg wash before baking and that came out better.
My kids love these “French Pastry Twists” my mom gets at the grocery store. I figured, how hard can it be to make these? They were so simple and TASTED THE SAME as the store bought!! I too cut them in half as they were really long. I’m looking forward to making these during the holidays with some hot chocolate!!
I made thses for a get together and they went quickly. I cut them in half before baking to make them go further…..thank goodness.
