Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. Place an oven rack on the lowest level.
• Cut each croissant in-half horizontally, but not all the way through
  8 large croissants
• Place each croissant on the baking sheet and liberally sprinkle the inside of each with chocolate chips.
  12 ounces chocolate chips
• Very lightly sprinkle the inside with flaky salt.
  1 teaspoon flake sea salt
• Close the top of each croissant and lightly brush the tops with maple syrup then sprinkle them with turbinado sugar.
  3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, ¼ cup turbinado sugar
• Place the baking sheet in the oven on the lowest rack and bake for 4-5 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and have caramelized. Watch the croissants closely beginning at 4 minutes. They can burn quickly at this point.
• Transfer the croissants to a cooling rack and cool for 1 minute. Remove them from the tray to cool. These are delicious warm or cold.

Becky’s Tips

• You can use any combination of chocolate chips that you like, such as milk, semisweet, dark, or white. 
• You can substitute some of the chocolate chips for flavored baking chips, such as mint, caramel, or butterscotch. 

Storage: Store chocolate croissants in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
