- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for mixing)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon active dry or instant yeast
- 1.5 cups cold whole milk
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter (softened for layering)

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Melt the butter and mix with cold milk; add to dry ingredients and form a soft dough.
- Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the butter layer by mixing softened butter with flour until smooth.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle and spread the butter layer on two-thirds of it.
- Fold the unbuttered third over the middle section, then fold over the remaining third to create layers; roll out again gently.
- Cut triangles from the dough, place chocolate pieces at the base of each triangle, and roll tightly.
- Let shaped croissants rise for about 30 minutes on lined baking sheets.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush with egg wash and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
