Just in time for Thanksgiving Breakfast? Erin’s Chocolate Croissant Recipe pick. We tried this in the office this week. Erin baked them to perfection and they were addictive. The great thing is that she used Dark Chocolate and it only had 4 grams of sugar. We think this would be a great idea for Breakfast on Thanksgiving or any day. It is filling and DELICIOUS! Here are the ingredients and link to the recipe instructions courtesy of Sally’s Baking Addiction.
