Chocolate is a favourite in my home, so this was greatly appreciated, especially served warm, since the chocolate had that melt in your mouth texture to it. In fact, any leftovers were warmed up in the microwave.

Wow these were a huge hit at my Sunday Dinner. I made some of them with sugar free chocolate for the diabetics and everyone raved about them...So glad I made a double batch...<br/>They ate them all!

I miss the chocolate filled croissants I used to enjoy in Switzerland. This is a quick and easy substitute. Thanks for posting. Made for PRMR.

This is a classic. I used couverture chocolate as we don't like milk chocolate. Made on Saturday morning 10am, gone on Saturday morning 10:45am. Anyone else have the Joe Dassin earworm? 'Tous les matins, il achete son p'tit pain au chocolat-ai-yi-yi-yi-yi...' Thanks.
