A Brief History of Chocolate Croissants (Pain au Chocolat)
Chocolate croissants, or pain au chocolat, have their roots in France. These pastries evolved from the traditional croissant, which was inspired by the Austrian kipferl—a crescent-shaped pastry. When Austrian baker August Zang introduced the croissant to France in the 1830s, French bakers later innovated by adding chocolate, creating the now-beloved pain au chocolat. While traditional versions require laminated dough and hours of preparation, this easy version gives you a similar indulgence in just minutes!
Ingredients
You’ll only need three simple ingredients for this irresistible treat:
- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)
- 1 bar of good-quality chocolate (or chocolate chips)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional but recommended)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Dough
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles (or cut puff pastry into small squares if using that).
Step 3: Add the Chocolate
- Place a piece of chocolate (or a small handful of chocolate chips) at the wide end of each dough triangle.
Step 4: Roll the Croissants
- Gently roll the dough from the wide end to the narrow tip, enclosing the chocolate inside.
- Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the tip is tucked underneath so they don’t unroll while baking.
Step 5: Apply Egg Wash (Optional but Recommended)
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and lightly brush it over the croissants. This will give them a beautiful golden-brown shine.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7: Let Them Cool (Just a Little!)
- Let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving. The chocolate inside will be HOT, so be careful when taking your first bite!

✔ Dust with powdered sugar for a bakery-style touch.
