Easy Pain au Chocolat

I sure miss the real pain au chocolat that I had in France. I've tried making an easy version of them before, but there was something missing. I used a recipe from La Fuji Mama, but made them a wee bit smaller so they are bite-sized. They turned out so yummy! This is an easy version that is good, but still nothing like the real thing! Sometime I'll have to try making them from scratch! Anyway, here's the easy version.

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated crescent rolls
Semi-sweet chocolate chunks
1 egg, beaten with 2 T. water
Sugar in the Raw (or other coarse sugar)

Directions:

Unroll crescent rolls, pinching the seams to make 4 rectanges out of the 8 triangles. Cut each rectangle into a square. You should have 8 squares. Next cut each square in half to form 16 small rectangles.

Brush rectangle with the egg wash. Place chocolate squares along 1 short edge of crescent dough. Roll up so the chocolate is in the center. Place on a silpat or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with more egg wash and sprinkle with Sugar in the Raw.

Bake according to crescent roll package.

Enjoy!
