How to Make Salted Caramel Chocolate Stuffed Pillows

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Step 2: Roll Out the Puff Pastry

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry into a 12×12-inch square. Cut into 6 equal squares using a knife or pizza cutter

Step 3: Add the Filling

Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted caramel and 1 teaspoon of chocolate into the center of each square

Step 4: Seal the Pillows

Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together, then use a fork to crimp and seal

Step 5: Egg Wash & Bake

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush over the tops of the pastries. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up

Step 6: Cool & Finish

Let the pillows cool slightly. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Serve warm!

What to Serve with Salted Caramel Chocolate Stuffed Pillows

These sweet, flaky treats are perfect on their own, but here are some fun ways to enjoy them even more

• With a scoop of vanilla ice cream – The contrast of warm and cold is heavenly
• Drizzled with extra caramel or chocolate sauce – Because more is always better!
• Paired with coffee or hot cocoa – The ultimate cozy treat
• Topped with crushed nuts – Add a little crunch with toasted pecans or almonds

Tips for the Best Salted Caramel Chocolate Stuffed Pillows

• Use high-quality chocolate – Dark or milk chocolate works best for a rich filling
• Seal the edges well – This prevents caramel from leaking out while baking
• Chill before baking – If the pastry gets too warm, pop them in the fridge for 10 minutes before baking to keep them flaky
• Experiment with fillings – Try Nutella, peanut butter, or even a fruit jam for a fun twist!

How to Store & Reheat

Room Temperature:

Store in an airtight container for 1-2 days

Refrigerator:

Keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to crisp them up again

Freezer:

Freeze unbaked pillows on a baking sheet, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I Use Store-Bought Caramel Sauce?

Yes! Just make sure it’s thick enough to stay inside the pastry

Can I Make These Without Puff Pastry?

You can use crescent roll dough or pie crust, but puff pastry gives the best flaky texture

Can I Make These Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! Assemble them and refrigerate until ready to bake

What Chocolate Works Best?

Semi-sweet or dark chocolate balances the caramel’s sweetness, but milk chocolate works great too
