Ingredients
- 1 heet puff pastry thawed, store-bought
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips mini morsels
- 1 tablet Mexican chocolate shaved
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar butter spread melted, brand Land O Lakes®
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup dulce de leche
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle a board or counter lightly with flour.
- Open the puff pastry sheet and lightly dust top with flour.
- With a rolling pin, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a 15-inch square. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the pastry in half. Cut each long rectangle diagonally into 4-inch triangles, making about 16 triangles.
- Place a pinch (about 1 teaspoon) of mini chips and a pinch of chocolate shavings on the wide end of the triangle. Beginning with the wide end of the triangle, roll the dough up into a croissant shape. Place on a baking sheet, and bend the dough slightly to make a crescent shape.
- Repeat with the remaining triangles.
- Brush the melted butter spread onto the top of each croissant and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
- Bake for 20 to 23 minutes. Place baking sheet on top rack and broil until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
- Drizzle with dulce de leche and serve immediately.
