White and Dark Chocolate Straws
Ingredients
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, thawed
1 egg yolk beaten, and mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup turbinado or coarse sugar
4 ounces white chocolate 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate 4 tablespoons milk or cream, divided
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Preparation
1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place puff pastry on lightly floured work surface. Cut on fold seams into 3 strips (or evenly into 3 strips lengthwise). Cut across thirteen times to form a total of 42 rectangles. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Pick each rectangle and twist 2 or 3 times and place on prepared baking sheets 1" apart. Place baking sheets in refrigerator or freezer for 10-15 minutes. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400ºF.
2. Bake twists 12-14 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and cool. Place twists on cooling racks an inch or so apart, lining them up in rows (this will simplify the chocolate glazing process). Place lined sheet pan under the cooling racks to catch chocolate.
3. Place white chocolate in small microwave-proof bowl with 2 tablespoons cream. Microwave on high for 45 seconds. Let sit for one minute and stir with fork until blended, microwaving in 10-second intervals to melt chocolate, if necessary. Stir in 1 tablespoon unsalted butter until smooth. Repeat with dark chocolate.
4. Using large spoon, drizzle one side of lined up twists with white chocolate. Repeat with dark chocolate. Let cool completely until chocolate is firm. Store in airtight container.

Flavonoids, also found in wine are types of pigments that are water-soluble and created by plants of many varieties. There are thousands of different flavanoids. Plants use flavonoids in the process of photosynthesis.
How the human body actually uses and/or processes flavonoids is still not determined but they have been linked to good health in many areas - particularly blood circulation.
If you are a science buff, then you'll be interested to know that flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds containing 15 carbon atoms, two benzene rings joined by a linear three carbon chain. If you're just an average, everyday person with a sweet tooth, then you'll be interested to know that good things are contained in a single bite of dark chocolate. So please, put down the chemistry book and enjoy some today!
