Steps:
- Bundles: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unfold puff pastry and cut the sheet into 2 (4 by 4-inch squares). Beat eggs and cream together to create an egg wash. Brush pastry squares with egg wash. Place 2 chocolate kisses and 1 mini candy bar in the center of each pastry square. Repeat with remaining kisses and mini-bars. Pull corners of the square up around the chocolate, brushing edges with more egg wash, if necessary, to create a secure bundle. Brush exteriors of chocolate bundles with more egg wash. Repeat with remaining bundles. Place bundles on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Ganache: In a sauce pan bring the heavy cream to a boil. Place the chocolate pieces in a bowl and pour hot cream over top. Whisk until smooth. Puddle ganache onto a plate and place 1 bundle on top. Top with whipped cream and additional ganache, if desired. Serve bundles garnished with strawberry slices and mint sprigs

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is a good choice.
- Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Just be sure that the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
- Don't overheat the chocolate. Once it is melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before using it.
- If you are using a ganache filling, make sure it is thick enough to hold its shape. If it is too thin, it will ooze out of the chocolate bundles.
- To make the chocolate bundles easier to handle, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in the ganache.
- When dipping the chocolate bundles in the ganache, use a fork to carefully coat them. This will help prevent them from breaking.
- Place the chocolate bundles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set completely before serving.
Conclusion:
Chocolate bundles with chocolate ganache are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
