At the supermarket chain Albert Heijn, the focus for this year’s Easter is on croissants. Including a very large croissant pillow…
The Dutch underneath reads “Te lekker om op te eten”, or “To delicious to eat”.
Other croissant-related purchases this Easter include:
- A loaf of butter croissant bread
- Croissant buns
- “Cretzel” pretzel croissants (the link is to the frozen version, although I found them fresh in the bakery section. they were decent, sort of like a salty croissant, unfortunately not that pretzel-y)
- Flipped pistachio cream croissants (the flipped just signifying that the cream was on top. It is clear AH is just trying to get on the Dubai trend. though they have a similar one with strawberry creme)
- Stol croissants (“stol” is generally a sweet bread with almond paste inside, raisins and powdered sugar on top, a staple during Christmas and Easter. I’ve never seen this croissant variant, though).
- Marshmallow croissants (I showed a picture of this one in an earlier blog post. I don’t like marshmallow so I won’t be trying this one!)
- A scary looking croissant plushie (for the true croissant fan in your life)
And that is your croissant news for the day. Happy Easter!
