    Description

    This breakfast pastry hybrid is one you will not want to pass up! We have combined the best parts of a croissant (layers of laminated dough) and a muffin (full of delicious fillings and toppings) and give you the cruffin! If that isn't enough to convince you to make these, we have filled this pastry with lots of chocolate hazelnut spread, chopped hazelnuts, AND chocolate chips. Don't forget to purchase your paper muffin liners so you can take this breakfast on the go!

    Directions

    1. Thaw frozen puff pastry according to package directions. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line 12 standard-size (2-1/2-inch) muffin cups with paper liners; set aside.

    2. Whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar mixture on a work surface. Unfold 1 sheet of puff pastry on top of sugar mixture. Sprinkle 1-1/2 tablespoons sugar mixture evenly over top. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons hazelnuts. Roll gently with rolling pin to a 12×9-inch rectangle, pressing the chocolate chips and nuts into pastry.

    3. Roll up into a spiral, starting from a short side. Cut into 6 (1½-inch) slices. Place into prepared muffin cups with cut sides up. Repeat with remaining pastry sheet, sugar mixture, chocolate chips, and hazelnuts. Place in remaining prepared muffin cups.

    4. Bake 22 to 25 minutes or until crisp and golden. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan to wire rack. If desired, remove paper liners. Pipe or spoon 1 teaspoon chocolate hazelnut spread on top of each cruffin. Garnish each with strawberry half, if desired. Serve warm.
