My inspiration for this chocolatey version of the croissant came from the popular French pastry, pain au chocolat, which is essentially a chocolate-filled croissant in the shape of a rectangle instead of a crescent. En lieu of plain chocolate I decided to try Nutella which turns out to be a popular croissant filling in Germany.

This recipe comes from my good friend, Milena, in Germany. Similar to crêpes, German pancakes are large and thin and can be used for both sweet and savory dishes. When I made these recently for breakfast, I made the sweeter version and added grated apples and blueberries to some of the pancakes.

These soft pretzels take me back to my college days and eating my way through Europe. I devoured a lot of bretzels in southern Germany and eastern France. Kids will love to help roll the dough into ropes and shape the pretzels! Make them savory with salt or sweet with cinnamon-sugar.
