Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (thawed according to package instructions) store-bought puff pastry
- 1 cup (or approximately 4 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate bars
- 1 large (beaten for egg wash) egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Lightly flour a clean surface and unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet.
Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal rectangles using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
Place a small handful (about 1 tablespoon) of chocolate chips or a chocolate piece along one of the shorter edges of each rectangle.
Roll the puff pastry tightly over the chocolate to form a neat log. Place the seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Repeat the process for all 8 croissants.
Brush the tops of each croissant lightly with the beaten egg to help achieve a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best gooey chocolate experience!
