Instructions
Making Kataifi Crunch Croissant Bark is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Kataifi: If the kataifi pastry is frozen, thaw it according to package instructions.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
4. Combine Kataifi and Croissants: Add the thawed kataifi pastry and croissant pieces to the bowl. Gently toss to coat them evenly with the butter mixture.
5. Add Nuts: Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips if using, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
6. Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly, pressing down gently to compact the mixture.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 15-20 minutes.
9. Cut into Pieces: Once cooled, use a sharp knife to cut the bark into desired sizes.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an elegant finish, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
