Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1/2 cup melted dark chocolate, for decorating
  • Candy eyes, for decorating
  • Slivered almonds, for decorating

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Step 2

    Roll each puff pastry sheet into a croissant shape, then flatten it using a rolling pin until it’s evenly thin.

  • Step 3

    Roll the flattened croissant in granulated sugar, pressing lightly to ensure the sugar sticks. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Step 4

    Cover the croissants with another sheet of parchment paper. Place a second baking tray on top to prevent the croissants from puffing up too much during baking.

  • Step 5

    Bake for 20 minutes.

  • Step 6

    Remove the top baking tray and parchment paper. Sprinkle the croissants with more sugar and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  • Step 7

    Once the croissants have cooled slightly, top with melted dark chocolate, attach candy eyes, and add almonds for monster “teeth.”

  • Step 8

    Let the croissant monsters set completely before serving.
