Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 pkg. (17-1/4 oz.) frozen puff pastry (1 sheet)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp. water
1 pkg. (4 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
2 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Thaw pastry sheet at room temperature 30 min. Mix egg and water in small bowl; set aside. Microwave chocolate, milk and butter in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 to 2 min. or until chocolate is almost melted, stirring after 1 min. Stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Unfold pastry sheet onto lightly floured surface. Roll into 16x12-inch rectangle. Spread pastry evenly with chocolate mixture to within 1-1/2 inches of edges. Sprinkle walnuts over chocolate. Starting at short side, roll pastry sheet up jelly roll-style. Place, seam side down, on ungreased baking sheet. Tuck ends under to seal. Brush with egg mixture.
Bake 35 min. or until pastry is golden brown. Cool 30 min. on baking sheet on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 8 slices to serve.
