I think I posted a while back about about really disappointing
croissants that I bought at two different local store, and both were
done in their in store bakery. Then I tried Costco's fresh baked
croissants. They were a lot cheaper and a heck of a lot better than the
local grocery store's product.  On my last trip to Costco I bought a box
of frozen ready to cook croissants. I tried them this morning and they
were terrific. They take up a lot less room in the freezer and you don't
have to hurry as much to use them up. They are easy to cook. Take them
hour 20-30 minutes before cooking and toss them into a 350 oven for 25
minutes. I am not saying you are going to imagine yourself at a Parisian
cafe, but they are about the best croissants I have had around here in
years.

I don't think that product is available in Hawaii. Too bad. My guess is
that I might be able to purchase a case of the stuff but that's too
ridiculous to consider. How many croissants were you able to buy? Being
able to buy a dozen would be a wonderful thing.

The frozen ready to bake come in a box of 30. That takes about the same
amount of freezer space as a pack of 12 baked croissants.

My guess is that Costco uses the same frozen product for the baked
croissants sold in their stores. The case that I can probably get would
have about 204 ready to bake products. The croissants have to be
defrosted and proofed, right?
