Keywords: Ensure your puff pastry is cold before rolling it out to achieve maximum flakiness. Do not overfill with chocolate; one ounce per croissant is ideal to prevent bursting during baking. Let assembled croissants chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before baking for better shape retention.
