Chocolate Candy Puff Pastry Dessert

Today’s recipe is chocolate madness.  It is a recipe that I adapted from one I saw Paula Deen make.  You need to be a true chocolate lover to eat this.  The recipe incorporates 3 types of chocolate candy.  It could easy put a diabetic into a coma.  We are talking Snicker’s and Hershey’s Kisses all melty and gooey encased in deliciously flaky puff pastry.  Now it doesn’t stop there folks.  Here come the third chocolate candy.  Then you top it with a ganache made from a Symphony Bar and a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.  I must say I love the ganache.  I did sneak and eat some of it with a spoon all on it’s own. Then I went back for a few more spoonfuls.  It’s that good.  It would also be excellent just drizzled on top of a scoop of ice cream.  And did I tell you how divine the ganache is.  This dessert will definitely fulfill your chocolate fix.
