Choco- Toffee Twist
Description
Twist and twist they go!
Your kids will find this recipe interesting. It uses ready-to-roll croissant pastry to make this delicacy. The croissant pastry is filled with chocolate and toffee. This is very easy to make and your kids can actively participate in the kitchen with you.
Prep Time: 20minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Makes: 12 twists
Ingredients
100ml milk
140g toffee
Ready-to-roll croissant tubes (2 at least)
50g roughly chopped chocolate
Method
Preheat your oven to 200 ˚C
- In a small bowl, melt the toffee and milk over a low heat. Stir the mixture occasionally to incorporate them smoothly. Once completely melted, cool off the heat for 2 minutes – this time it would be slightly thickened.
- Unroll one tube of the croissant dough, skillfully divide the croissant dough into 12 (or more, depending on the size/number you want to achieve) rectangular strips.
- To each of the rectangular piece, drizzle a little of the molten toffee, then sprinkle some chocolate drops on it. Just like you did with the tube of croissant roll in step 2, unroll another and cut into the same size of strips. Sandwich these new strips onto the ones filled with chocolate chips and toffee. Hold the sandwich at both edges and twist slightly.
- Lay the sandwiched-twisted strips on a baking sheet; spacing them out as they will expand, slightly. Bake for 15minutes until golden.
