The Food52 blog put together a recipe for a batch of sweet croissants that are oozing with chocolate and marshmallows. Although inspired by a classic childhood treat, the s'mores croissants are sure to please kids and adults alike.
The s'mores croissants are made from homemade puff pastry and a delicious chocolate filling. Although the recipe calls for all-purpose flour, gluten-free flour can also be used to accommodate dietary restrictions. While the recipe is similar to that of a traditional chocolate croissant, these pastries also contain mini marshmallows toasted with a creme brûlée torch. The end result is a hybrid dessert that combines a classic campfire treat with a delicate French pastry.
Although s'mores are delicious on their own, these sweet croissants offer a more refined take on the chocolaty marshmallow treats.
