Eating

These would be perfect for a tea party

This was my week to choose our Recipe Roulette dish, and I wanted to do something really easy. When I saw these chocolate croissants from Joy the Baker, I knew I had my recipe.

These little guys really are incredibly easy. Poppy probably could have made them by herself — well, except for the oven part and the cutting. I handled those steps, and she was in charge of chocolate placement and some croissant rolling.

My only complaint? It would be way to easy to eat them all in the span of, say, half an hour. That hasn’t happened yet, but it very well could. They’re wee and so tasty.

Here’s what the kids had to say:

Poppy: “Mmm, this is delicious! Can I have another croissant, Mommy?”

Pete: “Mmm, Mommy! Wow!”

If that’s not a ringing endorsement, I don’t know what is.

  • I started writing just NaBloPoMo!after midnight last night. I’m going to put a word-count widget somewhere around here if they ever start working.
  • The kids were up at 7 this morning. I do not like you, Time Change.
  • I never made the pizza last night, and I forgot to put the dough away. It was pretty flat this morning. I slashed it, salted it and baked it. Maybe it will be OK.
  • Some sort of beast attacked our trash can last night. There was only one bag in it, but it was ripped open and halfway down the hill this morning. I picked most everything up. But not — you may want to set aside your doughnut before continuing — the diaper covered in slugs. I’m hoping my still-sleeping husband is well-rested and strong-stomached when I send him out there.
