These little guys are easy to make, taste great, and look impressive! The only thing I'd say to watch out for, is making sure you don't make the slices too long on the top of the pastry, or the raspberry preserves will spill out and make a mess of everything (a few of my guys didn't quite make it).

Thank you for posting a simple and quick croissant recipe. I'll be making this again soon and will try different fillings also. Just a note, the egg wash to seal the edges is really important to keep filling inside. I forgot to do it on one croissant and the filling leaked out across the tray.

really good. I dropped the raspberries and just used hazelnut spread instead after the first two batches. Always a crowd-pleaser!

im not so sure about this recipe. you have to be quite precise to get it right and i took my time. after rolling out the pastry, mine wasnt perfectly square anymore. then you cut it into nine pieces, which turn out to be quite small, and if they are not perfectly square, then the edges don't come together well when folded. i used just a little bit of the egg on the edges, but it made the it goey and hard to stick together. when cooking i had blow outs, which isnt too bad, but the blow out of jam burns to the bottom of the pastry. also, my vent slits all melded together so it just looked like it had lines in the dough rather than slits. the taste was pretty good. I think i may put an entire layer of neutella and jam on an entire pastry, roll it up, chill it for an hour to firm the dough, and then cut it into 1/2 rolls. that way you only have two big edges to worry about instead of 9*4 little edges. With less edges, you get more filling per bite. Also, you can roll it up, wrap the rolled dough around to form a breakfast ring, seal the two edges, and cut vents about half way down so that the servings are easy to separate. lots of potential and what is not great with neutella? will try variations and get back to you. i wonder if neutella, raspberry and cream cheese would be good.

Very good, will make again. Used half the pastry with the chocolate/raspberry filling, and half with feta cheese/ greek olives. Was happy with both the sweet and savory versions.

Excellent recipe!! I used seedless red raspberry jam and a really good quality black cherry and blue berry jam (the black cherry was better then the red raspberry, not overly sweet) As far as the filling, I think more is better. I ended up with a good heaping teaspoon of the chocolate spread and just a little less then a heaping teaspoon of the jam. I did some with just plain jam, but everyone seemed to prefer the chocolate spread. I also dusted the pastry with a coarse sugar and everyone loved it. Don't worry about the sizes being so precise, just cut the sheet into three strips at the fold and each strip into three again, give them a little roll and fill. Thanks for the great recipe Allison.

These turned out very well and were not difficult to make. People were surprised that I hadn't bought them at a bakery. The crust is flaky and crisp and the filling is good. I would recommend being generous with the filling. Some of mine had more than others, and the ones with more tasted better. Some may bubble out on baking but it doesn't really matter.

Loved the Nutella and raspberry jam, but felt the puff pastry overwhelmed the filling. This site has a recipe for crepes with Nutella and bananas, garnished with whipped cream and strawberries. I think I'll try that with some of the remaining Nutella.

i'm making this for my French I class in the 8th grade. I love chocolate and raspberries put together. I also used the canned croissants cause the other thing looked to hard. Then i used the chocolate spread that goes on ice cream in stead of the Novella or whatever and it still worked out the same.GREAT!

Sooooo great! We have dairy allergies in our family, so I make my own chocolate spread with about 1 large bar of dark chocolate and a tablespoon or two of non-dairy margerine - melt together and mix. This is such an easy, quick and delicious recipe that never fails to impress!

Awesome! And didn't take long at all! Instead of cutting individually, I just rolled one sheet of puff pastry onto parchment, lightly scored the sheet so that I knew where to place the spread & jam. Then I rolled out the other sheet on parchment. Egged around sheet #1 and then put sheet #2 on top. Cut with my pizza wheel and I was done! Took about 30 mins including the baking time :)

Holy Cow! These are awesome, and so easy. Honestly the hardest thing to do is spread the Nutella (don't laugh, it was a little tricky to spread). I brought half of these into work with me and my co-workers were so impressed when they found out that I made them. They thought I had gotten them from the local bakery! I can't wait to make these again, I'll need them to keep my status as favorite new employee ;)

These were great. Everyone loved them. They are NOT difficult, so please don't be discouraged! Some tips: flour your countertop and pin when you roll out the pastry. Lay down one third of your sheet at a time so the others don't get in the way. Don't be concerned about exact measurements: just lengthen and widen the pastry with a few strokes of your pin, keeping it in a general rectangular shape. Don't bother to measure the Nutella, you can eyeball it. Less is more here; you want it to be a hint of flavor, you don't want people to say "Mmm, Nutella and raspberry jam!" Spread the Nutella quickly, as it dries out after several strokes and becomes more difficult to spread. It doesn't have to be pretty; nobody can see the inside. If you go all the way to the edge, no worries. The jam measurement seems to be just right for the size pastry. When you fold em up, crimp the edges with a fork; if filling squeezes out, oh well. A few strokes of egg wash along the top and sides. Make sure you use parchment paper as the filling may overflow in the oven and be a huge pain to scrape off the sheet. And voila! Quick, easy, delicious... this pastry will impress, and you don't have to let on how painless it was.
