Puff Pastry Rose Hearts a fast and easy idea to make Valentine’s Day or any day special. Filled with Chocolate Chips or your favourite Jam makes them Delicious.

One of the first things a family of a Food Blogger has to realize is that Holidays or Special Days always come at least a month or two early.

This year my husband asked “so what holiday are we celebrating this month”? Which reminded me that Valentine’s Day was just around the corner. And this got me thinking, what to make?

In the past I made some chocolate Valentine’s Day Tarts with Pastry Cream and last year some cute Chocolate Dipped cut out Heart Valentine Cookies.

But this year I wanted something fast and easy.Puff pastry roses always seemed to catch my eye. They were usually rolled up with sliced apples, I love those, they make my mouth water.

But I also noticed an Italian site Il Cucchiaio D’Argento that made them without the apple slices, just plain.

I liked that idea, although an easy filling would be perfect!

I ended up making this recipe at least four times. Every time using a different pastry. The first time I made my Brioche Recipe, another time a simple store bought Pie Pastry Dough and then a store bought Puff Pastry Dough. And believe it or not again using my homemade Puff Pastry.

Some of the circles I topped with chocolate chips and some with our favourite Jam.

After they were baked and cooled down, I then dusted a few with icing sugar, some drizzled with melted dark chocolate and a couple I drizzled with a simple strawberry sauce. And which dough was the winner?

To tell the truth they were all good. I like a Brioche Bread myself, but I was really looking for something fast and easy and really pretty. So we all agreed that the Puff Pastry was the winner, not that the pie pastry was bad, but puff pastry is puff pastry!
