CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS

CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS
Taste of Home Contest Winning 2010 pg. 67
These are super delicious and easy to make. Scott said they would be good with egg nog. Would be a perfect Christmas breakfast. We had them on General Conference weekend with fruit and a potato breakfast dish (Taste of Home Family Collection pg. 41) because I had potatoes I needed to use. Next time they would be perfect with a meat and fruit. I only got 6 croissants, but still made same amount of batter. Will save for french toast later in the week.

12 unsliced croissants
2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup milk
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup 1/2 1/2
3 tsp vanilla

Cut a slit into the side of each croissant; fill with about 2 T choc. chips.

In a bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon; whisk in milk until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, cream and vanilla.

Dip croissants into egg mixture. Place in two greased 15x10x1 baking pans (since I only did 6 they fit into a 9x13). Bake at 400 for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
