I made the air fryer Creme Egg croissants going viral on TikTok, everyone needs to try them

Air fryer snacks are all the rage right now, but there's one in particular that foodies are going crazy for.

Creme Egg Croissants are officially a thing and they couldn't be easier to make or any tastier.

Videos of people making the simple snack have been going viral on TikTok as we head towards Easter, so of course we had to give it a go ourselves.

They're made with Jus-Rol Croissants Dough so there's no messing around with flour and yeast and what not.

They're ready to roll straight from the tube and even have markings on to show you where to cut each one.

All you do is wrap a Creme Egg with one of the croissant triangles, roll it into a ball to make sure it's tight, cover it with some egg wash (egg with milk or water) and stick it in the air fryer on 170C for about nine minutes - remembering to turn them over half way through.

From start to finish the whole process is less than 15 minutes.

The result is a soft golden croissant, filled with Cadbury chocolate and that gorgeous gooey Creme Egg filling we all know and love.

And they don't work out too expensive either, not compared with what you'd pay in a cafe or shop for something like this.

I bought the products from Asda where a 250g tube of croissant dough (to make six) usually costs £2.50, but is currently on offer for £1.50. The Creme Eggs were £2 for a box of five. Altogether that works out at 65p per croissant.

It goes without saying that they're not particularly healthy, there's around 385 calories in each one, but then everyone deserves a treat now and again, especially one as dirty and delicious as this.
