Ultimate Chocolate Croissants

Flaky chocolatey layers of dough wrapped around a stick of chocolate, baked to perfection—what could be better? This recipe uses cardamom, a warm spice that is a member of the ginger family and is one of the most expensive spices by weight. Luckily its intense aromatic qualities mean that a little goes a long way. Many pastry chefs and artisan chocolatiers artfully pair this alluring spice with chocolate to create a symphony of flavors.
