Lightly dust a flat surface and roll out the puff pastry, maintaining its rectangular shape until it reaches ¼” thickness.
Melt the chocolate with butter, sugar, and milk in the microwave, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth but still spreadable.
Cut the pastry in half to create two smaller rectangles.
Spread the melted chocolate over one rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
Place the second pastry sheet on top, pressing gently to seal.
Cut into 1” wide strips, then twist each strip 2-3 times.
Chill the twisted pastry strips in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while baking.
Arrange twists in the air fryer basket, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar if desired.
Air fry in batches at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until the twists are crispy and golden.
Allow to cool for a few minutes as the filling will be very hot.

Keep Puff Pastry Cold – Chilled dough puffs up better. If it gets too warm, refrigerate for a few minutes before baking—I always do this for the best results.
Avoid Overfilling – A thin, even chocolate layer prevents messy leaks while baking.
Use a Pizza Cutter – It makes cutting pastry strips quick, clean, and easy.
Twist Lightly – Gentle twisting keeps the pastry airy and flaky.
Seal Only the Ends – This helps the twists hold their shape while allowing the layers to rise properly.
Brush with Egg Wash – A mix of egg and water or milk adds a golden, crisp finish.
Cool Before Serving – The chocolate filling will be very hot fresh out of the air fryer!
Storage Tips - Place any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
