Notes
For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped nuts or dried fruit along with the chocolate chips. To make this recipe even easier, you can use store-bought chocolate croissants instead of regular ones. If you want to reduce the sweetness, you can decrease the sugar by a little. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and frozen for up to 2 months.
