Ingredients
- 12 mini croissants
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and water, bringing it to a boil. Add vanilla extract and orange juice. Remove from the heat.
- Slice the croissants in half lengthwise. Using a pastry brush, soak the insides of the croissants with syrup on both sides. Note: Croissants will look wet, but will dry out during baking.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring frequently. Once the chocolate chips are completely melted, stir in the Nutella until smooth.
- Spread a spoonful of chocolate filling into each croissant bottom (optional: sprinkle on crushed nuts). Cover with the croissant top. Use a pastry brush to spread syrup on the top of each croissant. Repeat until all the croissants are filled.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve!
