I should probably explain that chocolate croissants are definitely one of my top 5 food items...the chocolate goodness wrapped inside a buttery, flaky croissant...what more could you ask for?
When I saw this staring back at me from the frozen food section of my local Trader Joe's, I almost had a food-induced orgasm right there standing between the frozen fruit and the frozen waffles. I. HAD. TO. TRY. THEM. No questions asked.
They are simple enough. The pack comes with 4 frozen croissants. You just take them out and let them proof (rise) at room temperature for at least 9 hours. I took them out at about 10pm before I went to bed. They looked like this when I took them out:
This is what they looked like in the morning when I woke up...mmmmmm, croissanty goodness just waiting for me when I woke up.
They you just bake them for 20-25 minutes...obviously I overcooked them a bit, I tried to cook them while I was in the shower...opps.
Anywho, I was a little disappointed. Admittedly part of it was my fault because I overcooked them so I will definitely give them another try but they were very greasy, but didn't really taste that buttery, like a good croissant should. They also definitely lacked a little on the chocolate as well...I took maybe 4 bites before I hit chocolate...however, once I hit the chocolate...mmmm, mmm goodness.
They also go stale very quickly. I left them out overnight by accident and they were totally stale the next morning.
Overall Rating: 3 1/2 out of 5

I've never had a chocolate croisssant.
They are just now opening a Trader Joe's by us. Are they as good as Wal-mart?
