Ingredients (makes 12 Puff Pastry Sliders)

• 3 sheets Puff Pastry
• 1 Banana
• 12 squares Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped
• 1 box Maltesers
• 1 tbsp Icing Sugar

Method

1. Spread out the puff pastry sheets and allow to defrost for 10 - 15 minutes.
2. Using an egg ring or other round cutter, cut out 12 rounds of pastry.
3. Spread the rounds on a sheet of baking paper on baking trays.
4. (Optional) Very lightly brush the pastry with a little lightly beaten egg. I don't do this but if you like your pastry really golden in colour, do the egg wash here.
5. Place the pastry rounds into a preheated 180 degree celcius oven in the middle of the oven. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes until the rounds puff up and go a nice gold colour.
6. Remove the pastry rounds from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
7. Once the pastry rounds have cooled down, take a sharp knife with a fine tip and cut around the edge of each - you should then end up with a top and bottom.
8. Onto the bottom add a few chunks of dark chocolate, 2 - 3 slices of banana and 2 - 3 maltesers.
9. Place the bottoms along with the banana, maltesers and chocolate back into the oven for just long enough for the chocolate to begin to melt.
10. Remove from oven, add a wedge of ice cream (I used vanilla but use whatever flavour you like) then enjoy! We lean over the kitchen bench and pop a tea towel on the bench to catch the crumbs and the drips. Delicious, fun but of course just a sometimes food!
