{"product_id":"chocolate-croissants","title":"Chocolate Croissants","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn order to understand what makes Trader Joe's Chocolate Croissants so special, it's important to examine the way that they're made. Our supplier, a highly regarded bakery in South San Francisco, makes the dough in a completely refrigerated environment, which helps prevent proofing before bake time. As part of the fermentation process, the dough is allowed to mature for 8 to 10 hours to develop full flavor. Then, each Croissant is hand rolled and layered using a traditional French laminating technique. Twenty-four thin layers of dough are layered with butter, and in the center of each pastry goes a special semi-sweet chocolate baton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring baking, the butter melts, resulting in a flaky, buttery pastry-golden brown, crisp, and slightly bubbly on the outside with a soft, airy crumb (interior). Of course, the middle presents a melty bite of chocolate. Our Chocolate Croissants are fantastic right out of the package, or warmed up just a little. Enjoy with an espresso and a banana for breakfast. Or, warm one up in the afternoon for a sweet treat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate's Crates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43482197295146,"sku":null,"price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/8348\/2666\/files\/webp-1280_69025418-9fd6-47fa-9fa6-edbc43d3f40f.webp?v=1756157905","url":"https:\/\/katescrates.myshopify.com\/products\/chocolate-croissants","provider":"Kate's Crates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
