Traditional bear claws are a bakery treat, made from a sweet yeasted Danish dough that is as delicious and delicate as it is time-consuming. Filled with chocolate and cut into an almost paw shape, bear claws can be made the easy way, with commercial, store-bought puff pastry.

No, it’s not exactly the same, but boy oh boy, puff pastry bear claws are incredible in their own right. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, which is seemingly made up of a miraculous number of intricate tiny layers, this version takes only about an hour to make, including time to defrost the dough. I strongly prefer puff pastry made with butter for this recipe; it can be found at many large grocery stores and health food-style stores.
