How to Make a Chocolate Croissant

A flaky, buttery fresh from the oven croissant is hard to resist even for the most die hard dieter. Fill that same buttery croissant with a rich chocolate filling and it's downright decadent.

Here is a super easy recipe to make chocolate filled croissants.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
• 1/4 Cup Nutella-Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
• 8oz Cream Cheese
• Optional: 2TBSP chopped hazelnuts
• Buttery Cookie Spray

1. Heat oven to 375°F.

2. In bowl mix together Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread and cream cheese until smooth.

3. Unroll dough; separate into triangles on a cookie sheet you've sprayed with buttery cooking spray.

4. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread onto the center of the croissant roll triangle. Spread to within 1/2 inch of all edges. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts it you’d like a little crunch in your croissant roll.

5. Loosely roll your croissant roll from the wide side to the opposite point. Pinch the sides to seal in the chocolate. Curve into a crescent shape.

6. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.

Tips & Warnings

• You will most likely have left over spread. So you could whip up another batch of chocolate filled croissants. It's also delicious spread on graham crackers.
• Always be careful around a hot stove
