We have the best bakery outside of Frace(that’s what I been told), haven’t been to France yet… But it’s in West Seattle called Bakery Nouveau, ohh for sure it is heaven on earth. Their twice baked chocolate and almond croissants are very delish.

My friend Galina shared this recipe with me, she was the one who told me about this wonderful place in Seattle. I recently made them for volunteers at our church camp and lots of people came up to me asking for recipe. I realized that I better share the recipe.

Note: Day old croissants work better with this recipe. I also added 2 table spoons of rum for little kick, I couldn’t really taste the kick though 🙂
