Oh my goodness, my sweet friends. What a time we are living in. Before I get going about this recipe, I wanted to repeat something I said on my Facebook page, which is this.

I know so many folks are following the guidance to stay home, and are probably cooking on a regular basis for the first time. So if you or anyone you know needs advice, suggestions on what to make based on the ingredients you have on hand, etc etc, PLEASE know you can call on me.

My email is [email protected] and I am puttering around my kitchen all day long, and I would love to help, even in this small way.

This includes my mama, who is in the highest risk group.

This week was of course St. Patrick’s Day, which is one of the biggest days of the year for my raucous Irish family. But my mama is being so good about following the guidelines to keep her distance, even from us.

So this year, instead of gathering together in an unruly noisy group, I made the corned beef, she made the colcannon and soda bread, and we did a careful exchange outside her front door.

These are surreal times, but I also see how they are bringing out the best in so many people, and I’m concentrating on that.

And also on chocolate, which finally brings me to this easy peasy recipe!

Here’s how you make baby chocolate croissants!

You need a package of frozen puff pastry, which you can find in the freezer section near the frozen pies and cakes, and I bet it’s one of few things that folks aren’t stockpiling!

Defrost it in your fridge, roll it out lightly and then cut it into 16 triangles. I tried my best to write out in the recipe how the triangles should go, and then I remembered that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Put a spoonful of chocolate chips on the wide end of each triangle, and then roll them up towards the pointy end. Pinch the ends together and smoosh the pointy end down so it sticks to the rest of the dough.

Now brush with a little beaten egg and if you like things sweet and salty, you can sprinkle on the teensiest amount of sea salt.

Pop them in the oven until they are golden brown, and then let them cool for as long as you can stand it. Break one in half…

…and check out that melty chocolate!

This is a perfect project to do with the kiddos. Or if you know someone who needs a pick me up, you could leave a plate of them on their porch. Or you can just curl up in your favorite chair with a cup of tea and two of these babies.

One way or the other, my heart is with you. And if you need supper advice, you know where to find me.

XOXO.
