Ingredients

1 (13-ounce) packet ready rolled butter puff pastry
1 (100-gram) chocolate bar (milk or dark depending on taste)
1 egg beaten

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unfurl the sheet of pastry and then cut it into 6 squares.

Cut each square diagonally to give 2 triangles (they will appear quite small). Put the triangle with the wider part facing you and the point away from you.

Break off small pieces of chocolate (approx.1cm/half inch) to place about 2cm/3/4-inch up from the wide end nearest you.

Then carefully roll from that chocolate loaded end towards the point of the triangle.

You should now have something resembling a straight croissant, seal it slightly with your fingertips and curl it around into a crescent.

Place the chocolate croissants on a lined baking tray and paint with the beaten egg. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and puffy and exuberantly, if miniaturely, croissant-like.

Yummie and quick choco fix
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these with mixed semi-sweet and white chocolate chips. They were definitely tasty and quick. I brushed them with the... egg and sprinkled some raw sugar on top which added a nice flavor. I used Trader Joe's puff pastry.Read more

Simple and Delicous
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy and very good. I topped with powdered sugar to dress them up a little bit. Cocoa could be used as a topping too. ... Don't worry if they don't look like croissants there is not much dough to wrap around a piece of chocolate. They will still be enjoyed.Read more
