Why I love Dark Chocolate Stuffed Croissants Recipe

I love these Dark Chocolate Stuffed Croissants Recipe—they’re fabulously simple to make and taste as close to homemade as you can get! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so share with the ones you love or enjoy all by yourself! 🙂

Feel free to substitute any variety of dark chocolate you may have in your pantry or find chocolate delights in the finer chocolate section of the grocery store.

SO simple to make…just unroll crescent sections, add chocolate, and roll ’em up! YUM. I like to use the reduced fat crescent rolls because I think they taste just as good and I like to make every calorie count! If you’re not a fan then use the normal variety and of course they’ll turn out oh-so-good.

Ingredients in Dark Chocolate Stuffed Croissants Recipe

  • Dark Chocolate- is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet. Studies show that dark chocolate (not the sugary crap) can improve your health and lower the risk of heart disease.
  • Eggs- are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper. Egg yolks contain more calories and fat than the whites. They are a source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and lecithin, the compound that enables emulsification in recipes such as hollandaise or mayonnaise.
  • Milk- It’s packed with important nutrients like calcium, phosphorus, B vitamins, potassium and vitamin D. Plus, it’s an excellent source of protein. Drinking milk and dairy products may prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures and even help you maintain a healthy weight.
  • Granulated Sugar- Granulated sugar is also sometimes known as white sugar, or “regular” sugar. Granulated sugar has had all of the naturally present molasses refined out of it. The fine crystals in granulated sugar don’t cake together, which makes it perfect for measuring, sprinkling onto food and dissolving into drinks.

    These look so good. I love that you use World Market’s chocolate. I think I will try them with WM Dark Chocolate with Chipotle – just happen to have a bar left over from my Christmas stocking (how could I have forgotten about it?)!
