Melty, Squidgy, Stuffed Croissant

I don’t do ‘it’s January, let’s diet’, so if you want an incredibly indulgent and quick piece of Heaven, this is the one. Having said the I don’t diet thing, I should say that this treat is in the ‘rare treat’ category.
Flaky, buttery croissants are hard to improve on, but splitting them and filling them with a caramel-filled chocolate, or a mixture of dark chocolate and marzipan and then popping them in the oven to heat. Well. Need I say more?

Of course I can say more. I have no problem with that.

A really clever recipe that comes together without a lot of fuss. In addition to all this, it can be frozen. That is pretty marvellous at this time of year – you never know when you’re going to need a cake or pudding on standby.
