Ingredients

  • 2 sheets Puff Pastry dough
  • 16 ounces Dark chocolate we used bars of 60% Ghirardelli chocolate
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°degrees F. Note: Use the temperature in the instructions on the package of puff pastry.
  • Open up the puff pastry dough and place on a lightly floured surface. Dust a rolling pin with flour and lightly roll dough out to a rectangle approximately 14 inches wide and 12 inches tall.
  • Cut dough into 6 triangles.
  • Cut chocolate bar into 1 ounce pieces and place 1 ounce of chocolate at the wide end of each triangle.
  • Roll the dough up from the wide end of the triangle to the pointed end keeping the point centered so it falls across the top of the croissant.
  • Repeat this for each piece of dough.
  • Once all 6 are filled with chocolate and rolled open the second sheet of puff pastry and repeat steps 1-5.
  • In a small bowl beat together egg and water making an egg wash.
  • Place the rolled croissants on a parchment lined baking sheet and brush a little of the egg wash over each croissant.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown on the outside.
  • When the croissants are finished baking remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
  • While the pastries cool chop up the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and place in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well in between, until chocolate is fully melted.
  • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the croissants and let cool before serving.
