Chocolate Croissants Are Crying On The Inside (PHOTO) | HuffPost Life

How did we miss the signs?!

|

We love pain au chocolate just as much as the next buttery-pastry-filled-with-chocolate lover. Which is why it broke our heart a little -- and made us really hungry -- when we saw this pain au chocolate poster. (Thank you Serious Eats for bringing this to our attention.) Ben Horsley, the man responsible for this cheeky artwork, shows us just how very sad these French pastries are.

Why are they so sad? How did we not see the signs!! Will they ever feel happiness again? There's only one thing we can do to remedy this situation. Go out and buy a chocolate croissant; it'll let them know how much you care. And, you get a snack out of it.

Dessert For Breakfast

Sweet Potato Doughnuts(01 of11)

Never tried a sweet potato donut? Well, you should. The addition of sweet potato puree adds a naturally sweet and earthy flavor. These donuts are baked instead of fried, meaning they are much healthier than the average one -- and they go great next to a cup of fresh-brewed coffee.Get the Sweet Potato Doughnuts recipe (credit:Con Poulos/Food&Wine)

Strawberry-Almond Scones(02 of11)

While strawberries are definitely one of the favored fruits, they don't get a lot of play in baked goods -- which is a shame since they work, oh, so well. In this recipe, strawberries are paired with almonds for a mouth-watering scone. And with the use of whole-wheat flour, this is a breakfast pastry you can feel good about eating.Get the Strawberry-Almond Scones recipe (credit:Con Poulos/Food&Wine)

Apple Pie Muffins(03 of11)

Ground almonds and oats are added to these muffins to give them a nice, hearty feel -- and a great nutty flavor. Cinnamon and brown sugar come together in this recipe, along with a bit of apple, to give you a taste of home-made apple pie.Get the Apple Pie Muffins recipe (credit:New Media Publishing)

Butterscotch Sticky Buns(04 of11)

This recipe is a real treat for breakfast -- especially since it includes such ingredients as creme fraiche and sweetened condensed milk. The soft and fluffy sticky bun is topped with a salty-sweet butterscotch sauce that has just a splash of bourbon for depth. Get the Butterscotch Sticky Buns recipe (credit:Con Poulos/Food&Wine)

Chocolate Chip And Banana Muffins(05 of11)

This pastry is essentially banana bread meets chocolate chip muffin -- and it's a match made in heaven. The bananas keep the muffins perfectly moist, and the chocolate chips add just the right amount of decadence.Get the Chocolate Chip and Banana Muffins recipe (credit:Fredrika Stjärne/Food&Wine)

Sticky Pecan Muffins(06 of11)

If you're looking for fresh baked goods in a hurry, this is the recipe for you -- and it's a delectable one, too. Everything is quickly put together in the food processor with just a few pulses, and the majority of the 35 minute cook time is simply waiting for the muffins to come out of the oven.Get the Sticky Pecan Muffins recipe (credit:New Media Publishing)

Baked Currant Doughnuts(07 of11)

This baked doughnut recipe mixes dried currants in the dough, imparting a welcomed sweetness throughout. A nice way to finish them off is to brush with butter and then dredge them in sugar.Get the Baked Currant Doughnuts recipe (credit:Stephanie Foley/Food&Wine)

Jelly-Stuffed Corn Muffins(08 of11)

A little bit lighter than a jelly-stuffed donut, but every bit as tasty. These simple corn muffins are stuffed with strawberry preserves -- though feel free to use your favorite flavor here -- which means they are ready to be enjoyed immediately (no need to cut open to top with butter and honey).Get the Jelly-Stuffed Corn Muffins recipe (credit:New Media Publishing)

White House Honey-Oat Muffins(09 of11)

If they make them at the White House, you better believe that this is a pretty good muffin. And they've got some goodness in them too with the use of whole-wheat flour, rolled oats and honey -- which takes the place of sugar in this not-too-sweet recipe.Get the White House Honey-Oat Muffins recipe (credit:Pernille Pederson/Food&Wine)

Fruit-And-Nut Energy Bars(10 of11)

Not quite a breakfast pastry, but the addition of dried blueberries, figs and coconut would suggest otherwise. These homemade energy bars are a great start to any morning.Get the Fruit-and-Nut Energy Bars recipe (credit:Tina Rupp/Food&Wine)

Banana Quinoa Muffins(11 of11)

This may look like a muffin, and it may taste like a muffin, but it has way more nutrition than a regular muffin. Quinoa gives this recipe a nice grainy quality, and also provides it with a ton of protein. Agave nectar is used in place of regular sugar, and the bananas provide a healthy amount of potassium.Get the Banana Quinoa Muffins recipe (credit:New Media Publishing)
