Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry fully thawed but still cool
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars
  • 1 large egg room temperature for smoother wash
  • 1 tablespoon water used to thin the egg wash
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour for dusting the surface and pastry

Method
 

  1. Set the oven to 350°F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  2. In a small bowl, beat the egg together with the water until evenly combined, then set aside.
  3. Lightly coat your countertop with flour, unfold the puff pastry, and sprinkle a small amount of flour over the top.
  4. Roll the pastry into a large square about 16 inches wide, slice it in half, cut each half into four rectangles, then divide each rectangle diagonally to create triangles.
  5. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of chocolate along the center of each triangle.
  6. Roll each triangle starting from the wide edge toward the point to form a croissant shape.
  7. Place the croissants seam-side down on the baking sheets, tuck the tips underneath, and gently curve the ends inward.
  8. Brush the tops lightly with the egg wash, coating just the surface.
  9. Bake until deeply golden and puffed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
