Instructions

Prepare the syrup by combining sugar, water, and almond extract in a saucepan over medium heat until dissolved. Cool.
Make the filling by beating together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in almond flour, egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut croissants in half lengthwise and spread the filling inside each one. Add chopped dark chocolate and sliced almonds before closing.
Brush the tops with whole milk for a golden finish.
Bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
