Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Roll the thawed puff pastry dough with a rolling pin to flatten flatten the crease. The crease may not completely roll out of the dough (which is fine).
1 sheet puff pastry
Mix the metled butter and molasses together and brush on the puff pastry sheet.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon unsulphered molasses
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and spices together. Sprinkle evenly over the pastry sheet. Lightly press the rolling pin over the sugar to gently push it into the dough.
¼ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon ground clove
Cut the dough into 12 even strips. Twist each piece 6 or 7 times and place on a parchment paper or silpat mat lined baking sheet. Bake in the top half of the oven (but not the very top rack) at 400°F for 13 to 15 mintues until golden brown.

If not serving immediately, let cool completely before transferring to an air-tight container.
If the puff pastry dough is soft or soggy before baking, transfer to the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before putting in the oven.
