Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 18 mins
Total Time: 38 mins
Servings: 18
Yield: 18 pastries

Ingredients

  1. 1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
  2. 6 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread
  3. 3 tablespoons all fruit raspberry jam
  4. 1 egg, beaten
  5. ¼ cup confectioners’ sugar for dusting (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Unfold the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each one into thirds along the fold lines. Roll each strip of dough out to about 16 inches long, and cut strips into thirds.
  3. Spread some of the hazelnut spread onto one half of each rectangle to within 1/2 inch of the edge. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the raspberry jam over the hazelnut spread. Brush the edges with egg, and fold over the other side to enclose the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining rectangles. Use a sharp knife to cut 5 slits across the top of each pastry, and place them on baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake for 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool on racks. Dust with confectioners’ sugar when cooled if desired.

I used Ghiradelli melting wafers as the chocolate due to nut allergies. 2nd try went better than the first.
Barbara Oconnor
Worked great! So easy and so good!
Scott Salazar
Very easy. Great flavor
Anne Parker
I loved these croissants. The flavor was great, and they were so easy to make with the frozen puff pastry. I got 18 done in an hour with little fuss. The longest part was getting the crust properly defrosted before I could work with it. I would absolutely make these again.
Ricardo Gentry
So Delicious. It took longer for the puff pastry to thaw than I expected. But that was the only drawback.
Kyle Roberson
It was ok & better cold than warm from oven. I liked better without the chocolate hazelnut spread. Won’t be making again cause we like the recipe better with cream cheese filling & jam.
Kevin Lambert
Very easy and delicious. Next time I am going to make with only jam and a lot more of it.
Vicki Sullivan
These were delicious and pretty easy. I did add the egg wash to the top in addition to the edges which I liked. I forgot to add the confectioners sugar which probably would have been even better and I clearly didn’t seal them well enough since a few leaked the jelly and didn’t look as pretty…but that was my fault.

This was my first time using puff pastry and these were so simple. They turn out so fancy looking and everyone wants one! Mine were done in 14 minutes so keep a close eye. Followed the recipe exactly.

I will make it again and I will cut out with a cookie cutter to make sure they are all even.
Michael Hernandez
The taste is very good, however. It comes unfolded and then becomes burnt-looking, ugly and hard to clean up
Emily Morris
These are soooo awesome! Easy and beautiful. I’m sure I’ll be making these many more times. Thanks for the recipe! I like extra chocolate so I sprinkled some dark chocolate chips in too that I chopped up in the food processor.
Joshua Mills
my husband loved them, but they qere not crispy, dont think i cooked long enough. and my filling came out., i need practice!
Steven Rose
Pretty easy to make. I would try a couple twists to this though. I would use a pepper jelly like raspberry jalapeño to give it a little surprise bite! Also might add a egg wash to the top and sprinkle with raw sugar before it’s baked.
Andrew Poole

The Beans ( ages 8,7,6) loved these, although the grown-ups found them too sweet.Unanimous that Mimi can make this again, as according to the eldest bean ithese were ‘the best dessert ever!’ Made exactly. As written. Thanks for sharing
Rebecca Brown
This is a great recipe. Easy to make and delicious. I made these for a small party and my guests could not believe I didnt buy them from a bakery. Very light and tasty. I added a little more raspberry to the mix but that was just personal preference.
Jennifer Adkins
A wonderful and simple recipe. Very subtle flavors. I noticed several reviewers had problems putting these together so I watched the video prior to making my first batch and had no issues with it. I’ve tried this as written and with several other fruit flavors and all of them have been very good. We did like the raspberry best though.
Colin Wright
meh too basic. quick but taste very store-bought
Amanda Bradley
These were a hit with us. Very yummy!
Juan Sanchez
Excellent recipe! Love it! I had never worked with puff pastry before and it was easy to work with. These look professional when done, like those from a bakery/pastry shop. Flavors were great together. I may try strawberry pastry filling in place of the raspberry jam as I love chocolate and strawberries. Thanks, allison125, for the great recipe! I plan on trying many fillings and having fun with puff pastry!
