Croissant or pain au chocolat?

Do you like your buttery layers of puff pastry pure?


Or shot through with chocolate?


Airy and flaky?

Or hiding something melty in the middle?

(Maybe even a choco-raspberry melty middle.)

Classic?


Or always with chocolate?

I won't turn down a flaky croissant if someone offers it to me, but every day of the week I'll pick pain au chocolat.

Ditto what Allison said. Pain au chocolat all the way.

Pain au chocolat -- yay!

Love a flaky croissant but put them side by side and you better watch your hand while I grab for the chocolate one!

Croissants, hands down. And they are so different from bakery to bakery and country to country. I love buttery French ones and dense Italian ones. Yumm! Erica

Plain, dense, with lots of extra butter and jam! Miam miam!!!

maybe the raspberry gooey one..
I don't really like laminated stuff unless it's slathered with jam..
why not have jam on it's own?
I learned the word 'laminated' (layered) from Sarabeth.
That's what you get hanging with the pros...
