Who doesn't love melty chocolate and flaky layers? This Valentine's Day dessert will have you weak at the knees. These puff pastry hearts make a great Valentine's Day dessert or even breakfast treat (I also love these strawberry shortcake donuts because they're pink!). Just a few ingredients, a few minutes in the oven and you'll be ready to enjoy.
Ingredients For Chocolate Pastry Hearts
You only need three simple ingredients to make this delicious dessert! Read and print the full recipe below, but here's what to gather:
- Puff Pastry Dough Sheets (I use Pepperidge Farms)
- Small chocolate pieces like Hershey's Kisses
- Melted Butter
To Make This Recipe Vegan
You can easily make this a vegan valentine's day dessert! Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry is vegan which makes this dessert so easy to make vegan-friendly. Simply make sure you're using dark chocolate (double check the ingredients) for the inside and plant based melted butter. It's as easy as that!

Notes

Hi Tori. If folks use puff pastry it won't vegan as standard puff pastry including the pepperidge farm is made with dairy (butter) to achieve the lamination. folks would need to make vegan puff pastry. these look fun to make for non vegans though!
Tori says
Hi Jen! According to their website (linked above in the post) the puff pastry is vegan and kosher!

Where would I find peppridge farm pastry in which store ? Sounds wonderful to make for my fellow coworkers, I'm a teacher and for my students.
Tori says
Hi Lisa, In the frozen section of your local store.

This puff pastry is magic! I keep it on-hand in our deep freezer. It never fails to make me look like a culinary genius. At Christmas I made individual "Haute" pot pies with it. The kids love making their own "pop tarts" during fruit picking season. The best trick in the book? Cheese Straws!
Tori says
Lara, those all sound amazing! And my kiddos would go crazy for the pop tarts.
