Chocolate Croissants
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 25 min.
YIELD: 1 dozen.
From time to time, we have stuffed French toast made from rich buttery brioche. One Father's Day when I wanted to make it for my husband, the store was out of brioche, so I tried croissants instead. They turned out to be even simpler to use.
