" First of all, don&amp;#039;t get mad at me because these aren&amp;#039;t really beignets. They&amp;#039;re not deep-fried, and they&amp;#039;re made from puff-pastry dough instead of a special doughnut dough. However, they&amp;#039;re festive after a roll in some granulated sugar and it&amp;#039;s far more fun to call them beignets, which conjure late-morning breakfasts with a mug of chicory coffee in New Orleans, than to be more accurate and call them chocolate-filled puff-pastry bites. These have to spend a bit of time in the freezer so you might as well prepare them tonight so you can pop them in the oven tomorrow morning.    Read the recipe, adapted from Sunset magazine, below:  First you make the ganache: heat 1/2 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons corn syrup, then add 4 ounces chocolate chips and stir to melt. Then you&amp;#039;re supposed to put this in the fridge to firm up, but mine remained stubbornly liquidy (even now). I actually scrapped the whole ganache thing and used chocolate chips, which makes this recipe even easier.    I had one sheet of puff pastry, half a package (also half a recipe, though the ganache above makes a full recipe). I floured my surface, rolled out the dough, then cut it into 16 squares. Then I mixed 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water and brushed the surface of the pastry with the egg wash.    I started by trying to fill the pastry with my liquidy ganache, but it just oozed out (see that trial one over there?). That&amp;#039;s when I reached for the remaining chocolate chips. I put 5 or 6 chips in each pastry square, then folded it over and pressed to seal. For some of them, I used a small biscuit cutter to make 3/4 moons, but I also left some rectangular and those tasted good, too. Then I wrapped the whole tray with plastic wrap and froze overnight. In the morning, I baked them at 400F for 15 minutes.    When they came out of the oven, still hot, I rolled them in granulated sugar and served.  I swear these are delicious, but if you&amp;#039;d rather have some authentic, fried doughnuts, try this recipe:  Chanukah Doughnuts \u2014 Kim Walker "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
