Puff pastry is one of the most versatile ingredients to have in your kitchen. It can be frozen for months – on call for that last minute dish – and it can be cut, shaped and flavored for a near endless variety of sweet and savory foods. Puff pastry twists are a whimsical, yet elegant, way to impress your friends, family and dinner guests when you host your next cocktail party, dinner party or dessert party. Give these appetizers and dessert recipes a try and come up with your own puff pastry twist renditions.

WORKING WITH PUFF PASTRY
Light, flaky and multi-layered, puff pastry is available in sheets and shells in the freezer section at your local supermarket. Purchase a box of puff pastry sheets – there will be two thick sheets rolled up – for these delectable puff pastry twists. Keep puff pastry frozen until you are ready to use. You can thaw the pastry sheets in the refrigerator – it will take about six hours – or you can hasten the thaw on your kitchen counter in 30 minutes – unroll the sheets and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap.
