Paula Deens Chocolate Bundles With Chocolate Ganache Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch sheet cake pan.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in the flour and sugar until incorporated. Stir in the eggs, sour cream and almond extract. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden on top, about 20 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes.
• For the ganache: Place the chocolate chips in a large heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil, stirring to combine. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth. Pour the ganache over the cake, using a spatula to cover the cake completely.

Steps:

• Bundles: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unfold puff pastry and cut the sheet into 2 (4 by 4-inch squares). Beat eggs and cream together to create an egg wash. Brush pastry squares with egg wash. Place 2 chocolate kisses and 1 mini candy bar in the center of each pastry square. Repeat with remaining kisses and mini-bars. Pull corners of the square up around the chocolate, brushing edges with more egg wash, if necessary, to create a secure bundle. Brush exteriors of chocolate bundles with more egg wash. Repeat with remaining bundles. Place bundles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Ganache: In a sauce pan bring the heavy cream to a boil. Place the chocolate pieces in a bowl and pour hot cream over top. Whisk until smooth. Puddle ganache onto a plate and place 1 bundle on top. Top with whipped cream and additional ganache, if desired. Serve bundles garnished with strawberry slices and mint sprigs
