These delightful rolls are reminiscent of 'Pain au Chocolat' with the delicious addition of Almond Paste. Refrigerated crescent rolls make this an easy recipe to prepare.
INGREDIENTS
1 egg 1-7 oz box Odense Almond Paste 2-8 oz packages of refrigerated crescent rolls 1-4 oz semi-sweet, good quality chocolate bar (like Ghirardelli's) Sugar for sprinkling
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg with one tablespoon water and set aside.
Cut chocolate into 1/4 inch by 1 inch slices. If they break, just piece together as you use them. Using a cheese slicer or sharp knife, cut thin slices of Almond Paste. Set aside.
Separate each roll into 8 triangles. Lay slices of Almond Paste on top of dough. At widest end of triangle, lay a strip of chocolate on top of Almond Paste. Roll to point.
Place point side down on baking sheet. Curve into a crescent shape. Brush crescents with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown. Serve.
