List of Ingredients




1/2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 (17.3 oz) pkg frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
5 (1.55 oz) milk chocolate candy bars, broken into sections
1 large egg
1 tbsp water
Powdered sugar

Recipe



Beat cream cheese on medium speed until creamy. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla, beat until smooth. Sir in coconut.

Roll 1 sheet puff pastry into a 12"x12" rectangle. Pastry will be thin. Cut into 9 (4 inch) squares. Stack 2 chocolate sections, just off center, on each square; top chocolate with 1 heaping teaspoon coconut mixture.

Whisk together egg and water in a small bowl. Lightly brush edges of squares with egg mixture; fold into triangles. Seal edges with fork. Place pastries on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.

Repeat procedure with remaining sheet of pastry, chocolate and coconut mixture. Brush remaining egg wash over top of pastries.

Bake at 400 degrees for 12 minutes or until golden. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Sift powdered sugar over pastries.
