- Thawing puff pastry:When you purchase store-bought puff pastry it is frozen. Thaw on the countertop for about 45 minutes before using. You want your puff pastry thawed but still cold.
- Rolling and shaping:For an evenly baked puff, ensure that you are cutting the pastry into evenly sized pieces. Gently roll the pastry before cutting.
- Hot oven:Preheating your oven is key for puff pastry to rise evenly! If you know your oven has hot spots, be sure to rotate your pan halfway through baking.
- Garnish:Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted dark chocolate before serving.

There could be a few reasons! Your puff pastry may have been too warm, your oven too cool or you may have cut your pastry too thick.

Yes, you can prepare a day in advance and bake when needed, just keep them refrigerated.
How Do I Store The Puff Pastry Candies?
