Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and butter.
- Once the dough starts to clump, turn it out onto a clean counter.
- Lightly knead the dough and form it into a ball, making sure not to over-knead it.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
- Slice the cold butter in thirds and place it onto a sheet of parchment paper..
- Place another piece of parchment on top of the butter, and beat it with a rolling pin.
- Keeping the parchment paper on the butter, use a rolling pin to roll the butter into a 7-inch (18 cm) square, ½-inch (1 cm) thick. If necessary, use a knife to trim the edges and place the trimmings back on top of the butter and continue to roll into a square.
- Transfer the butter layer to the refrigerator.
- To roll out the dough, lightly flour the counter. Place the dough on the counter, and push the rolling pin once vertically into the dough and once horizontally to form four quadrants.
- Roll out each corner and form a 10-inch (25 cm) square.
- Place the butter layer on top of the dough and fold the sides of the dough over the butter, enclosing it completely.
- Roll the dough with a rolling pin to seal the seams, making sure to lengthen the dough, rather than widening it.
- Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's 8x24 inches (20x61 cm).
- Fold the top half down to the middle, and brush off any excess flour.
- Fold the bottom half over the top and turn the dough clockwise to the left. This completes the first turn.
- Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
- Roll out the dough again two more times, completing three turns in total and refrigerating for 1 hour in between each turn. If at anytime the dough or butter begins to soften, stop and transfer back to the fridge.
- After the final turn, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- To form the croissants, cut the dough in half. Place one half in the refrigerator.
- Flour the surface and roll out the dough into a long narrow strip, about 8x40 inches (20x101 cm).
- With a knife, trim the edges of the dough.
- Cut the dough into 4 rectangles.
- Place the chocolate on the edge of the dough and roll tightly enclosing it in the dough.
- Place the croissants on a baking sheet, seam side down.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Brush the croissants with the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg wash in the fridge for later.
- Place the croissants in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the croissants have proofed, brush them with one more layer of egg wash.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

EASIER THAN THE EASIEST CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS
Yep - that's code for SUPER easy. :) My family traveled to France when I was little and these were on the BREAKFAST buffet! Every kid's dream!!! I made sure to eat one *every* morning. Chocolate for breakfast? That is only something a kid can get away with while in a foreign country - at least in my family! Now that I am a bit older, I no longer seek the adrenaline rush of breaking the breakfast routine, and I prefer to occasionally make these as a potluck contribution. Enjoy!

- Heat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Separate crescent roll dough into 8 triangles. Sprinkle about 1 Tablespoon of chocolate chips/chunks on top of each triangle as shown above. Use your best judgement – if you think your triangle can hold more, add more. If you think it should hold less, use less chocolate chips. Press chips down lightly to get them to stick. Reserve remaining chocolate chips.
- Roll up, starting from wide end and rolling to opposite point. Place onto baking sheet and curve into croissant shape. Brush the croissants lightly with beaten egg – this helps gives them that golden sheen.
- Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Melt the remaining chocolate in the microwave in 10 second increment, stirring after each increment. Add shortening to thin out if desired. Drizzle over croissants and serve warm. Try adding fresh whipped cream or even salted caramel on top. Leftovers keep well covered tightly at room temperature for 3 days.
