Puff pastry with melted chocolate, nuts and honey: easy for kiddos

Martha Stewart's Chocolate-Almond Tart With Fleur De Sel uses a store-bought puff pastry.
Ingredients
1 box store-bought puff pastry, thawed

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

1 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate (preferably 61 percent cacao), coarsely chopped

Honey, for drizzling

Sea salt, preferably fleur de sel, for sprinkling

2 tablespoons whole raw almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
Directions
Unfold dough on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Trim edges if needed to form a 10-inch square. Fold in each edge to form a 1-inch border.

Pierce center of shell all over with a fork. Brush edges with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 F. Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Using an offset spatula, press down on middle of shell (leave border puffy). Cover center evenly with chocolate. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with salt. Return to oven and bake just until chocolate melts, about 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with almonds and cut into 4 squares. Makes 4 servings.
