Peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in Heaven, and I cannot fathom how my husband does not see them as the perfect flavor combination. I guess no one is perfect. So when my daughter and I had some time yesterday afternoon and wanted a fun way to address a snack craving, we decided to channel our inner Reese’s.<\/p>\n
We deployed the crescent rolls that were in our fridge and used them to make peanut butter and chocolate croissants.<\/p>\n
These peanut butter and chocolate croissants were easy enough for her to make and delicious enough for everyone to enjoy. I think summer is a great time to get kids into the kitchen.<\/a><\/p>\n Chocolate and Peanut Butter Croissant Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/em><\/p>\n 1 8 oz. tube crescent rolls (I used Pillsbury) <\/a><\/p>\n Instructions:<\/em><\/p>\n Unroll crescent rolls and place chocolate chips and peanut butter chips (around 20 total) on each triangle.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Roll them up, keeping the chips from escaping.<\/p>\n <\/a> While they are baking, melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave.<\/p>\n <\/a> (These were inspired by Chocolate Croissants by the Noble Pig<\/a>.)<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This makes a great snack, but it would be a wonderful dessert, too. They went really well with a glass of cold milk.<\/p>\n My daughter and I agreed that these were best after they were out of the oven and cool but not cold. The next day they were fine after a few seconds in the microwave, but just not quite the same. If you’re on the chocolate and peanut butter bandwagon, these are worth a try. And if you’re not, well, my husband is happy for the company.<\/p>\n YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Quick and simple recipe for homemade orange cream soda<\/a><\/p>\n PRIOR POST: <\/strong>Review of the Starbucks Lemon Bar Frappuccino (or, Why I\u2019m Tired)<\/a><\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss a post!

\n1\/3 cup chocolate chips, plus handful
\n1\/3 cup peanut butter chips<\/p>\n
\nBake at 375 degrees for approximately 12 minutes until brown.<\/p>\n
\nWhen the croissants are done, drizzle melted chocolate on top. No fancy work here – we just dipped a fork in the chocolate and waved it over the croissants.<\/p>\n
