Chocolate Croissants
by:
Here the word croissant is a misnomer, because these chocolate-filled pastries aren't crescent shaped at all. In France, they are called pains au chocolat. But they are made from croissant dough and have the same lovely flakiness as regular croissants. These rectangles of croissant dough are jilled with little strips of chocolate, but you couldjust as well use strips of ham, cheese, or both. To cut a chocolate bar crosswise into strips, hold an old knife over the stove flame for a few seconds before cutting.
