Croissant Box

This Croissant Box Mishloach Manos is perfect if you are looking to create a rustic and sophisticated mishloach manos.

Walking into Gelbstiens Bakery/Elegant Desserts in Lakewood, NJ to pick up their mouthwatering, buttery, flaky croissants makes you feel like you have just visited a  French patisserie.

While in the bakery the other day to pick up some fresh croissants for a brunch I was hosting, I thought they would make a great mishloach manos.

I simply wrapped three croissants in a piece of muslin fabric, lined the box with the same fabric and  added  charming jars of spreads and a little sack with tea to the box for a neat, clean and sharp look.

 You will need:

• Wooden box or kraft basket (The one used here was 6.5″ x9.5″, I got it from Amazing Savings.)
• muslin fabric for wrapping the croissants in and lining the box 
• black cord 
• mini jars filled with delinut and jam
• cotton bags 
• tea and sugar
• fresh croissants (Gelbstiens Bakery-it is always best to pre-order large orders)
• graphics by [email protected]

We stamped the tea bags ourselves. Here is what we used.

• alphabet letters
• stamp blocks
• ink

Directions for stamping:

1. Position each stamp on an acrylic block .Use block grid lines for precise positioning. 
2. Apply ink.
3. Stamp fabric.

Note: Croissant can be frozen and reheated on Purim, put them in the preheated oven (180ºC / 355ºF) for 8 minutes straight from the freezer Purim morning and deliver fresh delicious croissants.
