Target's all-butter mini croissants have been criticized for their disappointing quality, landing them at the bottom of a croissant ranking. Reviewers noted the artificial taste and dense, chewy texture, lacking the lightness and flakiness characteristic of quality croissants. Issues were compounded by health concerns surrounding preservatives used in the product and the absence of expiration dates on packaging, leading potential customers to question their freshness. Overall, these croissants do not meet the expectations of a good breakfast treat.
A good croissant should be light, flaky, airy, and buttery. To be blunt, Target's mini croissants fail on all fronts. They offer a peculiar artificial taste instead of the rich depth of a high-quality butter you can expect from a homemade croissant.
The texture is dense and chewy, with none of the delightful flakiness to be found. If anything, our taster found it to be a little like eating a Pillsbury crescent roll past its expiration date.
The lower-rated reviews on Target's website for these butter croissants speak to many of the same issues that we pointed out. One person stated that the croissants weren't just dry, but neither of the packages came with an expiration date, which made them hesitant to take a bite in the first place.
The ingredient list also contains a number of preservatives, including ascorbic acid and emulsifiers to extend the shelf life. So if you're trying to eat healthy or stick to baked goods made with all-natural ingredients, you'll want to steer clear of these bad boys.
