Here’s what you’ll need for the Coffin Croissants:

Presentation & Serving

I’m so excited to show you how to present and serve these Coffin Croissants! 🎃 They’re perfect for spooky breakfasts or a Halloween-themed brunch.

Start by placing a black napkin on each plate. It creates a spooky backdrop for our delicious little treats.

To add some fun, sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar in the shape of a spider web on the napkin. It looks awesome and ties in with the theme.

Equipment Needed:

• Black napkins
• Sifter for powdered sugar

Ingredients for Topping:

• Powdered sugar
• A few sprigs of mint (for a pop of color🌿)

Sit a coffin croissant right in the center of each plate.

For added flair, place a fresh mint sprig next to the croissant. It brings in a little natural color and aroma.

Serve with a side of jam for those who like a sweet finish. Raspberry or strawberry jam goes perfectly with these croissants. 🍓

Instructions for Serving:

• Place croissants on a napkin-lined plate.
• Add a sprig of mint next to each croissant.
• Include a small dish of jam on the side.

These little details make the whole breakfast experience much more appealing and fun. Can’t wait for you to try this out and impress everyone at the table! 🍴

Storage Tips

Let me share some great tips on how to store your Coffin Croissants for later! 🥐✨

Short-Term Storage

If you’re planning to eat the leftovers soon, just wrap them in foil or pop them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh on the counter for 1-2 days.

Refrigeration

Got extra croissants? No worries! Just stick them in the fridge. Use an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.

Freezing Croissants

Want to save them for later? Freeze them! Place the croissants in a freezer bag. Remove as much air as possible. They’ll be good for up to 3 months. ❄️

Reheating Tips

When you’re ready to enjoy, warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. They’ll taste just as delicious! 🔥
