After baking, let the croissants cool slightly and then decorate with edible gold flakes for a sparkling, luxurious effect.
Serving and storage tips:
These chocolate croissants are best served fresh, but they also store wonderfully in an airtight container. They will keep fresh for about 2-3 days.
If you want them even crispier, you can put them in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
Variations:
White chocolate: Swap the dark chocolate for white chocolate for a sweeter version.
Filling of your choice: Add chopped nuts, caramel, or dried fruit to the chocolate mixture for a different flavor.
Filled croissants: Experiment with a mix of chocolate and marzipan for an even more luxurious creation.
