FAQs
This easy breakfast is best eaten within 1-2 hours of being made. You can store these chocolate croissants in an airtight container at room temperature. They are also freezer safe for the unbaked croissants for up to eight weeks until you’re ready to bake them.
A family favorite of chocolate Nutella and chocolate chips or Hershey’s chocolate bars are perfect fillings! Plus, rich Nutella has a smooth chocolate hazelnut flavor, as well as simple peanut butter, making them perfect pairings for this recipe!
We recommend only using a single layer for the croissants to cook evenly. If you layer the croissants on top of one another, they won’t become crispy and golden. So, you may have a do a few batches to ensure the croissants have enough room to cook.

Notes
- I make these in my Cosori air fryer. Depending on the size and wattage of the Air Fryer, you may need to add an additional 1-2 minutes to cook time.
- Leave enough room between each pastry, allowing room for the roll to puff as it cooks.
- Do not stack or overlap in the basket. The dough may not cook evenly.
- You can make 4 or 8 in a batch, depending on what will fit in your basket.
