This really is the perfect fall snack. First, you can’t go wrong with chocolate anything. And fall and pumpkin EVERYTHING just works. So, making this for your family (or just yourself on a Tuesday at 2pm curled up in your reading nook feasting over the last Harry Potter novel in your onsie and eating the entire braid… ahem.) during the fall (or winter, or 4th of July) will just brighten up that cool crisp morning.

I really think though this can be served at any time of the day. Traditonally braids are a morning treat but just live a little! Once you take one bite of this you will take any excuse to make the next one!

I added coarse sugar on top for a nice crunch, it is the perfect contrast to the creamy interior.

This recipe goes together super quick. Using store bought puff pastry and a chocolate bar. A creamy pumpkin filling is the perfect fall touch and the heardest part about the whole recipe is the braiding of the pastry itself. Which is super easy once your see how it’s done!

Just look at the crunchy exterior….

Warm and gooey inside, ugh! It doesn’t get much better than this! Some people think pumpkin and chocolate sound weird together but believe they are quite a match!! IMHO.
