Finally tried it:
I have mixed feelings. The top layer or two is fairly shatter-y (the layers were really thin but didn’t truly shatter; however, the croissant had also been a paper bag for a few hrs, so…). The interior is, as @chewchow stated, tender (that’s more diplomatic than I would’ve stated it). Not my preferred croissant texture, TBH.
Also, if a croissant can contain too much chocolate, this would be it. I recall that when I first had pain au chocolate in Paris, I was like, “There’s only 2 small lines of chocolate! That’s not enough!!!”
Actually, 2 small lines are just perfect.
The chocolate texture is also quite thick and the taste is quite intense. I think on its own, I would’ve liked the chocolate flavor (but still would’vde wanted far less of it). With the croissant, it was kind of distracting and just a bit too decadent.
Having said that, it’s still an excellent product and well worth a try. Partner very much liked the chocolate croissant and the ham and cheese. I love a good ham and cheese croissant, so I will likely give that a go next time.
