Who's Nuts for Chocolate????
What a way to start the New Year, with a quick, easy recipe that will be your new go-to throughout the year. When you make my "Chocolate-Nutty Puffs" you "will run around like a hen in the feed shed."
Lord Honey!!!! This recipe came to me one night when I had to come up with a quick dessert and all I had in the fridge was one sheet of puff pastry and some chocolate bars and pecans in the pantry. But honey, what a great combo it ended up makin', let's just say it's now one of my favorites when I need something quick.
