Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 package premade croissant dough (usually contains 8 triangles)
  • About 1 cup brownie mix or homemade brownie batter
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted, for sealing edges)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Fresh raspberries or strawberries (for berry variation)
  • Caramel or peanut butter swirls (for extra gooeyness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or the temperature specified on the croissant dough package. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prepare your brownie batter either from scratch or following the box directions.
  2. Roll Out the Croissant Dough: Unroll the premade croissant dough onto a flat work surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles as indicated on the packaging—these will be the bases for your croissants.
  3. Add the Brownie Batter Filling: Spoon about one tablespoon of brownie batter near the wider end of each dough triangle. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leakage during baking.
  4. Shape the Croissants: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the narrow tip, enclosing the brownie batter inside. Press the edges gently with your fingers or brush with a little melted butter to seal and prevent spills.
  5. Brush With Egg Wash: Whisk the egg until smooth. Using a pastry brush, evenly coat each rolled croissant with the egg wash to achieve a shiny and golden crust after baking.
  6. Bake Until Golden and Ooey-Gooey: Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they puff up and turn a rich golden brown.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the croissant triangles; too much batter can leak while baking.
  • If the dough feels sticky or warm, chill briefly in the refrigerator for easier shaping.
  • Use high-quality chocolate in the batter and chips for the best flavor.
  • Allow croissants to cool for 5 minutes before serving so the filling sets and prevents burns.
  • Garnish with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for an elegant finish.
