Ingredients
  

  • 1 package puff pastry sheets thawed
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chopped or chocolate chips
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon milk optional, to mix with egg wash
  • Flour for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Whisk together an egg and a little water in a bowl and set it aside for the egg wash.
  • Lightly flour your work surface and unfold the pastry sheet. Lightly dust the top with more flour to prevent sticking.
  • Roll the pastry sheet into a 16-inch square using a rolling pin.
  • Cut the pastry square in half, then cut each half into four rectangles measuring 8-inch by 4-inch.
  • Cut each rectangle diagonally into two triangles, making a total of 16 triangles.
  • Place chocolate chips down the center of each triangle.
  • Starting at the wider end, roll each triangle up towards the tip.
  • Place each croissant seam-side down with the tip tucked under the rolled dough.
  • Bend the edges of the croissants to create a beautiful crescent shape.
  • Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash to ensure a golden, shiny finish.
  • Bake the croissants in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown and puffed.
