"Get it hot. Get it chocolatey. Get it cozy and comforting as we head into those extra layered months. And best of all, use up all those extra croissants laying around (and if you don’t have croissants lying around 1. who are you! and 2. just go grab some croissants from the store and pretend you do)."

A Note from Feedfeed
What a fun way to use up day-old croissants-and what could make it even better than adding a combination of milk chocolate and dark chocolate? We approved this for breakfast and dessert!

ingredients
- 6 day old croissants
- 3 tablepoons butter
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup cut into chunks dark chocolate
- 2 tablepoons raw brown sugar
Method
Step 1
Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Brush 2 medium oven proof dish (cast iron is great here) with the melted butter.
Step 2
Whisk in the caster sugar until dissolved and then add in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and eggs.
Step 3
Roughly tear up the croissants and divide them evenly between the two dishes. Pour oven the egg/butter/milk mixture, again evenly between the two dishes. Press the croissants down into the liquid to better absorb. Sprinkle with both the chocolate pieces. Leave too soak for minimum 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Sprinkle with the brown sugar over the top once the 15 minutes is up. Bake for 10-15 or until golden brown. Eat right away when warm and comforting.
