They look really great. In New York City, there is a bakery called Ceci Cela Patisserie with 2 locations one in Nolita and one in Tribeca, where you can buy real French butter croissants frozen. I think they are 10 for $9 (for chocolate) and around $7 for 10 plain croissants. In any case, they rival the ones I had in Paris and make your kitchen smell great like French bakery goodness.

Yummy, now my stomach is growling. Oprah often gives these away when she has that crazy Christmas show where she gives away millions of dollars of her favorite products.

After reading this post I had a bad craving for some croissants. I to went the ghetto route and bought some Pilsbury crescent roll dough.

I do a fairly ghetto version of the exact same thing fairly often, using Pillsbury jumbo crescent roll dough. (I’m quite the opposite of a food snob, obviously!) I usually do chocolate ones, using mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, but another excellent batch I made once had raspberry preserves as filling.

I had the pleasure of “sampling” Erica’s creations. The “sampling” overflowed, before I knew it, into a gorging of five croissants. The overwhelming volume of deliciousness in my stomach hurt a little bit, but the pain was entirely worth the satisfaction enjoyed by my taste buds.

I bet a slightly sweeten cream cheese (cream cheese, with egg, vanilla and some sugar) would be deeeee-licious as a filling. Or a mixture of rasberry preserves and the sweetened cream cheese.

A bakery here in Grand Rapids, Michigan (where a lot of Dutch folks live) puts a sweetened almond paste filling inside that is to die for.

I love your site. Nice work.

They look terrific!!! I like that you can make as many or as few as you want, just keep the rest cold. Nothing better than treating your guests to freshly made croissants “just for them”.
