What Makes Mini Croissants So Special
Mini croissants are simply smaller versions of the traditional buttery croissant. While they may be small in size, they pack all the flavor and flakiness of their full-sized counterparts. Here’s why they’re a must-try:
- Perfect Portion Control: Sometimes, a full-sized croissant can be a bit much, especially if you’re just looking for a light snack. Mini croissants are the perfect solution, offering just the right amount of indulgence without going overboard.
- Versatility: Whether you’re planning a brunch, hosting a party, or simply want a snack, mini croissants fit the bill. They can be sweet, savory, or even a mix of both, making them a versatile addition to any menu.
- Easy to Make: Baking mini croissants are a fun project that doesn’t require much more effort than making regular croissants. If you use store bought ready rolled puff pastry sheets they will be budget friendly too.

3 Ingredients Puff Pastry Mini Chocolate Croissants
Only 3 ingredients required to make this delicious chocolate croissant snack are Puff Pastry Sheet, Chocolate Spread and Egg. That’s all to make these sweet puff pastry dessert snacks.
- Puff Pastry Sheet – I like to use ready rolled puff pastry sheet for making this quick and budget friendly.

How To Make Mini Chocolate Croissants:
Step-by-Step Instructions For Making Puff pastry snack mini chocolate croissants
Step 1:Cut puff pastry sheet
For making mini croissants cut 1 pastry sheet into 6 strips and then cut them in triangles to make 12 portions.
Step 2: Put the filling
Put a teaspoon of chocolate spread on the lengthy side of each triangl.
Step 3: Roll
Now simply roll the croissants from the flat corner towards the pointy edge and repeat them with the rest of the croissants. Transfer them into parchment paper liner baking tray leaving some space as they will spread a little while baking.
Step 3: Apply Egg Wash
Beat an egg yolk and apply on top. This will help the croissants get golden colour and a nice crisp on top.
Step 3: Bake
Bake @ 180 C pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crispy. Enjoy!
Choosing the Right Chocolate:
Chocolate is the key ingredient for making these mini Chocolate croissants and hence the type of chocolate you choose is crucial for the final taste of this snack. The better the chocolate spread or chips, the more delicious your croissants will be.
Use the same process for making plain croissants and after baking put choice of savory filling. They are also so delicious.

Storing Leftover Croissants
Croissants are best enjoyed freshly baked as they are crisp and delicious. If you have leftover, put them in an air tight container to store. They will need refrigeration during hot weather. Sometimes we have some leftover. Re-heat leftover croissants in the oven or air fryer for few minutes to get some crispiness.
