Best frozen croissants/pain au chocolat

[mummyof2boys30]

Thinking of getting some frozen croissants and pain au chocolate for a handy Christmas morning breakfast. Our morning is usually bedlam with so many people calling in so need something quick and easy.
No waitrose or Morrisons where we live so not there.
Thanks

I get them in Aldi and they're lovely! Pop them in the airfryer and they're done in 10 mins, very handy.

M&S are very good, Tesco less so.

Last year I bought a bag of M&S frozen croissants, a bag of frozen pain au chocolates & a bag of frozen chocolate chip cookies & they were delicious. We didn't have them on Christmas day but we used them over the holidays. So nice to be able to make a pot of coffee & have a fresh pastry hot from the oven on a dreary cold day

I got some Pret ones from Sainsburys- they were amazing! (Although pricey!)

Aldi/Sainsbury’s/M&S/anywhere really. As long as they’re all butter they’ll be good.

Prêt or Waitrose. Tesco's aren't that great.

Picard from ocado are the best!

Waitrose close 2nd.
Aldi are edible.
Iceland are absolute suite.
M&s are passable

I love Tesco ones. Prefer them to sainsburys. Must try the M&S ones for Xmas.

I put them in the air fryer for 7/8 minutes at 180oc. Delicious

Good luck finding them at the moment. There’s been quite the shortage around here recently.

Never tried frozen ones but the jus roll ones take minutes to prepare and shove in the oven, You could prepare them the night before and leave in fridge on a baking tray then shove in the oven for 15 mins and done.

Another vote for the Picard from Ocado ones. In fact pretty much anything Picard

Tesco do Pret ones which are the best we've found.

Not frozen, but Jus Rol are very easy to just bung in the oven

Picard or Waitrose.

Just-roll is very lovely

Love the Tesco ones.
But they haven't been in stock for the last few weeks 😕

Sainsburys are ok if you have one. The best are Waitrose but that doesn’t work for you unless get delivery.

I find M&S way too salty. Same with their bread. It’s very strange.

Picard or M&S definitely

M and s are great I'm just baking some right now!

Another vote for Tesco but there were none in ours at the weekend. Jus-rol are also tasty but take some effort. Only about 3 minutes of effort right enough, but still....

I buy Pret chocolate croissants from Sainbury's, they are lovely.

Jus-Rol are great and take minutes to prepare.
They are on offer in Sainsburys at the moment.
I baked the cinnamon and the chocolate ones for my son this morning.
The cinnamon ones come with a small pot of icing sugar which you add a little water to to drizzle over the top.
Yummy 😋

I find the Jus-Rol ones inedible so it’s clearly a personal taste issue! Sainsburys ones are okay I think. Better thawed and cooked for a shorter time than recommended.

Yes!!! I normally cook 6 and some are big and fluffy some are looking a bit sorry for themselves! I thought it was our oven 🤣
