Instructions
1
Preheat your oven according to puff pastry package instructions.

On a lightly floured surface, unroll one sheet of thawed puff pastry. Gently roll it out with a rolling pin to even the edges and to slightly thin it.

Unwrap the miniature Snickers candies and arrange them in a 4x6 grid (32 total) on top of the puff pastry sheet, leaving enough space to seal around them.
4
Unroll the second sheet of puff pastry and carefully place it on top of the arranged candies, ensuring that it covers them completely.
5
Press down the edges around each candy gently to seal the filling and prevent it from leaking out while baking.
6
Using a cookie cutter, pizza wheel, or sharp knife, cut out ravioli shapes or squares, as desired.
7
Transfer the cookies onto a lined baking sheet and bake according to the package instructions until golden brown and puffed up, usually about 12-15 minutes.
8
Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool just slightly.
9
Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with nuts or colorful jimmies as desired before serving warm.
