Ingredients

Scale

For the Croissants:

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

For the Brownie Batter:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Sift in the unsweetened cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder, then gently stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips if using to add bursts of chocolatey goodness.
Prepare the Croissants: Open the can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles along the perforated lines, preparing them for filling.
Roll the Croissants: Place about one tablespoon of the prepared brownie batter on the wide end of each triangle. Starting from that wide end, roll the triangle gently toward the pointed end, enclosing the brownie batter inside. Position the rolled croissants on the parchment-lined baking sheet with the pointed end facing down to maintain shape while baking.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the croissants turn a beautiful golden brown and puff up nicely, signaling they are cooked through.
Serve: Allow the croissants to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy them warm to experience the perfect combination of flaky crust and fudgy brownie filling.

Notes

You can add or omit the chocolate chips according to your preference for extra chocolaty bites.
Make sure not to overmix the brownie batter to keep the texture light when baked inside the croissant.
These croissants are best enjoyed fresh and warm but can be reheated gently in the oven for a few minutes if served later.
For a decorative touch, sprinkle powdered sugar over the croissants once they have cooled.
