I purchased them last time I was at Trader Joe's. I have not tried them yet. Sound like a good Sunday Morning breakfast!

Yes, DiAnne, it's my Sunday (and sometimes Saturday) breakfast treat! They have a tendency to burn, so consider keeping an eye on them the last five minutes or so.

You can cheat and use a can of Crescent Rolls and some dark chocolate chips!!!!

Takes a while to make the homemade dough, but they are so yummy!!!

Hot rolls and butter are my weakness.

Oh yes, this sounds fun and easy! Great for an 'emergency croissant!'

And we all know about those emergencies.....

I love chocolate croissants. The fruit-filled ones mentioned sound good also. It's really too bad that all the delicious foods are fattening and unhealthy.

I loved the lemon-filled and raspberry-filled ones that QVC was selling (for about a hot minute). I purchased them on AD and they cancelled after a couple of deliveries. Fortunately, I don't eat that much so I still have a bunch of them vacuum sealed in my freezer.

I also have a lot of the flat ones QVC sells. I probably won't ever get through those, as they sent me a replacement order for having received an order that was almost half broken. I vacuum sealed them in twosies so they'll last ages.

But the lemon ones and raspberry ones were my fav.

That sounds really good. Do you remember which vendor sold them?

They are the perfect breakfast food.

Jules, I used to go to an Au Bon Pain bakery that made a cheese filled croissant and a chocolate filled croissant. They were so good. We don't have any of those bakeries near us now. We would have to drive quite a distance, to get to one.

I have seen the recipe on Pillsbury's website for making the chocolate filled crescent rolls. I haven't made them yet.

It was the same vendor (Authentic Gourmet) that sells all the croissants on QVC. First they had a configuration that was a combination of one filled with something like Nutella, some raspberry ones, and some lemon ones.

Then they came out with a config that was just either all raspberry, all lemon, or a combo config with half lemon and half raspberry. I got the combo one on AD but I guess it wasn't that popular or something because they cancelled the AD a couple deliveries in. Fortunately, I still have a bunch of them though. Really good. The lemon had a good amount of very very nice lemon curd and the raspberry ones have like a raspberry jam in them.

Shame they stopped them. I think if they offer an AD of an item, at least I wish they'd carry it, or at least have for the AD customers for the year. But I guess it doesn't always work out that way.
