These Heavenly bundles are decadent & lavish, but so worth it! I make these only for special occasions & I had made these for years with regular puff pastry dough, until I was diagnosed with Celiac disease a couple of years ago. I had missed these desserts, but one day I found a market that carried g free puff pastry dough!! They were quite pricey ($9 for a package of 2 sheets!! Yikes!!), but worth it for this rare treat! I made 2 kinds. One was my traditional dark vegan chocolate & walnuts; the other, a new combo, was an apple/cranberry/pecan bundle! Oh my!!

 

 

Chocolate Bundles:

defrosted g free puff pastry sheets

Enjoy Life mini dark chocolate chips

chopped walnuts (about a cup’s worth)

Directions:

1. Prepare the dough according to instructions on back, but after rolling out the dough to an inch thickness, using a pizza cutter, cut into squares.
2. In each square, pour on top: 2 TBSP worth of chocolate chips & 1/2 tsp of chopped walnuts.
3. Bring the sides up & twist ends to “wrap” your bundles.
4. Bake on ungreased cookie sheets on 425°F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
5. Let cool for 3-5 minutes & sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Apple Cranberry Pecan:

2. In 1 saucepan, cook diced apples with 1/4 cup-1/2 cup water (Depending on how mushy you want apples, either like an applesauce or like soft apple pieces), 1/8 cup sugar & 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
