Tip

For a tasty variation, add a touch of crushed hazelnuts to the inside of your pains au chocolat before rolling. 🌰 Not only will this add an extra crunchy texture, but it will also add a deliciously fragrant hazelnut note that pairs wonderfully with the chocolate. A simple way to take your pain au chocolat to an even more indulgent level! 🍫🥐
