Chocolate Pumpkin Croissants

When we finally got to dessert at our pairing dinner, we really didn’t need another course. But sometimes it’s not about needing another course – it’s just good! Luckily, this recipe is quick and easy I decided to wait until after dinner to make it. That gave us a nice break to make a little extra space in our stomachs for the final touch!

I was so happy with the way this turned out – simple and delicious! It was the perfect ending to a fantastic evening.

The next morning, Kirk had another idea – what about heating up the croissants for breakfast (without the sauce)? This might not be the most nutritious breakfast you can enjoy, but it is a fantastic treat to enjoy on a Saturday morning!
