I'm a fan of chocolate croissants, but I've always felt that there's never quite enough chocolate. Then, one Easter, I decided to take the chocolate croissant to the next level by adding a Cadbury egg inside the croissant. This brilliant twist adds not only the rich, creamy chocolate flavor but also the delightful creaminess of the Cadbury egg. These creations are so incredibly satisfying that I find it hard to go back to a regular chocolate croissant. What makes them even better is that they're incredibly easy to make. You simply need some pre-made croissant dough and a Cadbury egg. Another fantastic aspect is that you can customize the filling to suit your favorite candy during any holiday. Try a Reese's peanut butter tree at Christmas or some caramel apple candies at Halloween. Just grab a can of croissant dough and let your creativity run wild!
Serving size: 4 people
Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 can of crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 4 Cadbury Creme Eggs (or other chocolate eggs of your choice)
- Cooking spray (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the crescent roll dough can. Typically, it's around 375 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface.
- Separate the dough into individual triangles along the perforated lines. Place 2 together to make 1 large croissant to fit the cadbury egg.
- Place a Cadbury Creme Egg or your choice of chocolate egg near the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
- Carefully roll up each crescent roll around the chocolate egg. Make sure the egg is entirely enclosed by the dough, and seal any open edges by pinching them together.
- Place the stuffed croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the crescent roll dough can, usually around 10-12 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the chocolate chocolate croissants to cool for a few minutes before serving. The chocolate inside will be hot so be careful and enjoy!
