As I write this, I have already eaten two pains au chocolat (chocolate croissants). Since I am new to having a fresh-out-of-the-oven croissant, it only seemed reasonable to try it twice.

This was my second try at croissants. Two weeks ago, I pulled the croissants from the oven and was greeted with a puddle of butter. (Fortunately, the loss of butter made for delicious biscuits.)

My luck turned today after giving them ample proving time.
