I’m all about easy recipes which is why I’ve been embracing my air fryer so much lately! You need to try my other air fryer recipes including Air Fryer Caramel Apple Pie Crescents, Air Fryer Garlic Cheese Stuffed Crescent Rolls, Air Fryer Pizza, Air Fryer Oreos, Air Fryer Mozzarella Balls and Air Fryer Cauliflower Bites. I’m going to be posting more so make sure you search for “air fryer” in my search box so you can see all the recipes I share.

I made this simple air fryer dessert late one night when my spouse’s sweet tooth started calling. I’ve never seen anyone love chocolate as much as this guy. He’s got a serious sweet tooth. Let’s just say he was very happy with me and loved these chocolate croissants.

I didn’t mind whipping them up because they were so quick to make. A perfect little sweet snack.

    Round up these ingredients to make these treats.

    • Pillsbury crescent rolls – I used one can, but you could easily double or triple the recipe if you need to serve more people.
    • Nutella – We always have a jar of Nutella in the pantry. You could use another chocolate spread if you don’t have that particular brand.
    • Butter – I used salted butter.
    • Sugar – Just regular white granulated sugar
    • Chocolate chips – Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate. Use whatever you have in your pantry.
    • Powdered sugar – Also known as icing sugar (for us Canadians) or confectioner’s sugar.

    How to Store

    These Air Fryer Chocolate Croissants are best served fresh from the air fryer after they’ve had a chance to cool down a little. If you’re not eating right away, cover them up so they stay fresh. 

    I stored mine on the counter top covered in plastic wrap. I wouldn’t keep them anymore than 2 days.

    Can You Freeze Chocolate Crescent Rolls

    Yes, you can! Prepare and air fry them following the recipe. Once they’ve cooled, place them in a freezer safe container for up to three months.
