Pain Au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissants)





























Chocolate Croissants are easy to make and bake. :) Chocolate has great antioxidant properties and is wonderful for your body, but the same cannot be said of pastry dough. lol. Treats are fine every once in a blue moon and portions are also of essence when consuming any food. Anyways, Chocolate Croissants make a delicious treat and are fun to make!

Ingredients
1 packet of Puff pastry dough
1 cup semi sweet Chocolate chips.

Directions
1. Cut the thawed Puff Pastry dough out into 6 squares. Then cut each square into a rectangle by making a cut diagonally. Now you should have 12 rectangles.
2. The widest part of the rectangle faces you. Place 4-5 Chocolate chips in the center of the rectangle and roll it up from the widest part towards the pointy part. Curve the ends and make sure it is sealed properly. The Croissants are to have a semi circular shape.
3. After they are all rolled up like Croissants, place them in an oiled pan and bake them for 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
