Berry Strudel with Chocolate Drizzle

One of the most versatile products available in the stores is the Puff Pastry!Great with sweet or savory, you can create gorgeous recipes using these store-bought packets of convenience.The reason I always have them in my freezer! This recipe is one of the easiest and easily feeds a crowd.I recently made these as Strudels with two delicious fillings.One with Apples and the other with Berries!


The recipe is fairly simple, yet delicious without too much effort.It was a hit with my guests and the kids alike.I also made a chocolate sauce to drizzle over the top and it gave a delicate chocolaty flavor to every bite!



(You can see some bits of the apple that was left from the Apple strudel that I also made along with this)


The berries ooze out their juices and mix in with the Cinnamon Sugar and every bite explodes with 
those succulent juices that are trapped in these delicious flaky Pastry!
