I absolutely ADORE chocolate croissants. Since they are hard to find and can be expensive, we decided to make our own, much simpler version at home. All you need is a can of crescent rolls, some chocolate chips, and some powdered sugar. Yes, it’s really that simple.
The girls donned their aprons, and Lauren threw on her chef’s hat with the cherry on top for good measure.
Got the crescent rolls and the chocolate chips. Let’s roll!
I seriously thought they would be more interested in eating the chocolate chips than in baking, but they surprised me.
They LOVED placing the chocolate chips in a line on the crescent rolls.
Lauren curls her top lip under when she’s concentrating. Olivia sticks her tongue out. It’s so cute to watch them.
Daddy distracted them will a silly face intermission… and then they had to go and wash their hands again after putting their fingers in their mouths…
They really REALLY took their time with each croissant… making sure it was just right.
After they put the chocolate chips in, I rolled up the crescent rolls so they would be ready to bake.
Mommy, quick! Put those “chocolate rolls” in the oven right now! …Please…
Lauren takes a peek through the oven window to check on their progress…
Golden brown and ready for their icing sugar…
A little here, a little there…
Whoops! A huge mound of sugar… oh well, the more the better…
The verdict is in…”Oh Mommy, can we PLEASE make these again soon?!”
Yes. Yes we certainly can.
Even though Fergus wasn’t allowed to have any of the chocolate croissants, you can tell by his grin that he still thoroughly enjoyed the baking lesson.

Oh my! I will definitely be making these!
Holy Crow! So many comments. First..love,love,love the croissant au chocolate idea. Have you ever tried Nutella? Ooooo Weeee!It's yummy. Secondly, I love Lauren's apron, is that oil cloth? I'm an apron fanatic (I'm always wearing one). Last, I like how different the girls cooking styles are. Lauren looks like she's kind of laid back and wings it while Olivia looks like she is very meticulous. Y'all look like you're having so much fun.
I "big puffy heart" Nutella! I actually said to my husband, these would taste really good with Nutella. Great minds think alike. :) Yes, Lauren's apron and Olivia's apron are both oilcloth. You also pretty much nailed their baking styles and approach to life in general.
YUMMMMEEEEE!! I love chocolate croissants!!!!!!!!
They look soooo good. How did they taste?
I'll have the one buried under the icing sugar, please.
And Fergus's grin kills me every time.
