Chocolate Croissants
1 (8
oz) tube reduced-fat croissant dough
4
tbsp semisweet chocolate chips
1
large egg white, lightly beaten
2
tsp sugar
Preheat
the oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Unroll the dough and
separate into 8 triangles. Spread 1/2 tbsp of chopped chocolate (about 12
chips) in a think line 1/2 inch above the bottom of each triangle. Roll
up, starting from the bottom and ending with the point, curving slightly to
form a crescent. Place the croissants on the baking sheet, points tucked
under, 2” apart. Brush the tops of the croissants with
the egg white, then sprinkle each with 1/4 tsp
sugar. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then serve.
The
croissants can be made up to 1 day in advance. To store--cool completely,
then transfer to an airtight container and keep at room temperature. Warm
them in a 200 F oven for about 10 minutes before serving.
Makes 8 servings @ 3-Points per croissant.
