I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cronuts turned out really dense and greasy. I'm going to have to try this recipe again.

These cronuts were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with a different filling.

These cronuts were a little more difficult to make than I expected, but they were worth the effort. They were absolutely delicious! I used a chocolate ganache filling, which was the perfect complement to the croissant dough.
