Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry frozen and slightly thawed
  • 1 (4-ounce) chocolate bar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter + more for drizzling creamy or chunky
  • 8 peanut butter sandwich cookies divided
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet, and set aside.
  • Slightly thaw the puff pastry until it is easy to work with but still cold. Spread it out into a large triangle.
    1 sheet puff pastry
  • Arrange the chocolate bar, ½ cup peanut butter, and 5 peanut butter cookies in the center of the dough.

  • Slice 1-inch sections of the dough from the center out. Carefully cut off the top two sections and the bottom two sections of the dough.
  • Fold the top piece down over the center. Begin braiding by folding one piece down at a time, alternating sides, and overlapping the dough.
  • Tuck the bottom piece under the last fold.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Use a pastry brush to brush the egg over the top of the puff pastry braid.
    1 large egg
  • Carefully transfer the braid to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes or until fluffy and golden brown.
  • Crush the remaining peanut butter cookies into pieces, and sprinkle them on top along with a drizzle of peanut butter, if desired.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
