Grease the inside of your crock pot with the butter to prevent sticking.
Cut the croissants into large chunks and layer half of them in the bottom of the crock pot.
Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over the croissant pieces.
Repeat with the remaining croissant chunks and chocolate chips to create two layers.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissant and chocolate layers, making sure all pieces are soaked.
Gently press the croissants down into the liquid to help them absorb the custard mixture.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 2 hours, or until the pudding is set and the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the pudding cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving warm. Optionally, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
