Happy Thursday! How is your week going? I’m hosting Fandom Foodies this month (you can read more about that in this post), and our theme is Game of Thrones recipes! I already have one GOT recipe on the site, the delicious and deliciously fun Frey Pie. But as much as I love that recipe, it’s a PROJECT. With the seventh season of the show premiering next month and, I’m sure, tons of viewing parties on the horizon, I wanted to make something that everyone, with every sort of schedule, could make. So we’re making Direwolf Claws!
These are basically simplified Bear Claws (with a little rebrand) and they are the best. They are super cute and soooooo good. They come out of the oven all flaky pastry and gooey filling. I seriously recommend inviting a ton of friends over to eat them with you because once you take a bite, you are going to want to eat them all!! I’m sharing two versions today, chocolate and cinnamon. The cinnamon ones taste like a Pop-Tart and a croissant had a little baby pastry, and the chocolate ones are like biting into a super flaky pain au chocolat. I’d tell you which was my favorite, but I can’t because they are both equally the best. 😉
And the great thing about these treats is that they are basically the easiest thing in the world to make. Instead of a labor-intensive from-scratch dough, I used frozen puff pastry, which means all you have to do to make these Direwolf Claws is roll out some pre-made dough, cut, fill, and shape. I added chocolate and cinnamon drizzles to mine for photographs so the flavors are easier to tell apart and because I think it looks cute, but if you don’t feel like waiting to eat them to finish that step, you can totally skip it! I made my first test version sans glaze, and they got gobbled just as fast!
Are you hosting any Game of Thrones parties this summer? Excited for the new season? I can’t believe it’s almost here!
