Puff pastry chocolate croissants are flaky, chocolaty, and delicious. These easy-to-make pastries utilize pre-made puff pastry and semi-sweet baking chocolate. The recipe requires only 3 main ingredients and minutes to prepare. Chocolate croissants are now possible any day of the week!
– Puff Pastry - Use store-bought for convenience or homemade.
– Semi-Sweet Chocolate (roughly chopped) - This recipe uses chopped chocolate to replicate the chocolate batons in classic pain au chocolat.
– Egg (room temperature) - For the egg wash.
Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Cut each square of the semi-sweet chocolate baking bar in half. Then, roughly cut each half of the chocolate into pieces.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet to a 10x12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut the rolled-out sheet of puff pastry into eight 3x5-inch rectangles.
Place the portioned chocolate pieces a little from the edge of each puff pastry rectangle. Brush a little egg wash onto the opposite end of the puff pastry.
