This croissant is ready to eat straight from the package. For a warm, freshly baked experience, you can gently reheat it in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until warmed through. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make the pastry tough. It is also delicious served at room temperature, allowing the chocolate to soften slightly.
