‘Tis the season of Halloween, and if you’re hosting a Halloween party, or just wondering what to do with all of the leftover candy from a successful night of trick-or-treating, we’ve got a fun idea. Candy bar croissants are a great way to serve up Halloween candy in an unconventional “wrapper.” We’ve taken mini chocolate candy bars and wrapped them in refrigerated crescent dough and then baked them in the oven. They come out buttery, crumbly and filled with gooey chocolate. We’re definitely not scared about that!
What’s fun about this is that we’re reminded of that classic French pastry, pan au chocolat. Our version takes a grocery store ingredient and wrapped around Halloween chocolate candy. To give it a little elegance, we melt some chocolate chips in the microwave and casually drizzle it over top of the cooled pastry. A dusting of powdered sugar adds just a little extra sweetness and a touch of fancy to a very simple treat. We think these are such a fun way to put a creative twist on classic Halloween candy.
INGREDIENTS
2 (8 oz) packages refrigerated crescent roll dough
Mixed mini chocolate candy bars
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, for dusting
