6 Pain au Chocolat

I was a bit skeptical about frozen croissants, but after baking these, the dark chocolate batons stayed perfectly melted and rich inside the flaky layers. We served them for a brunch spread and they disappeared in minutes.

The pastry is incredibly flaky without being greasy, and the dark chocolate batons are rich but not overly sweet. Perfect for a lazy weekend breakfast spread.

Brought these into the office for a Friday breakfast and they vanished in about ten minutes. The pastry shatters properly when you bite in, and the dark chocolate batons are generous enough that you get some in every mouthful.
