Arby’s Chocolate Turnovers Ingredients

Ingredients needed for  Arby’s Chocolate Turnovers Recipe on kitchen table.
  • Pillsbury Crescent rolls: Flaky, buttery dough perfect for easy homemade turnovers.
  • Chocolate chips: Sweet chocolate morsels that melt into gooey filling.
  • Butter: Adds rich flavor and golden, crisp finish.

How to Make Arby’s Chocolate Turnovers Recipe

Roll out the dough.

Step One: Start by laying out your croissant dough on a clean surface. Unroll and separate the triangles if you’re using a pre-rolled dough. Roll it out and cut it into triangles if it’s homemade dough. Preheat your air fryer to 320 degrees F (160°C). This temperature allows the croissants to cook thoroughly without burning.

Add chocolate chips to the center of the crescent rolls.

Step Two: Place a small amount of chocolate at the broader end of each dough triangle. Depending on your preference, you can use a few chocolate chips or a small piece of a chocolate bar.

Roll up the croissant rolls.

Step Three: Carefully roll the dough from the chocolate-loaded wider end towards the pointed end. Roll it tightly enough to keep the chocolate enclosed but not so tight that the dough tears.

Place Arby’s Chocolate Turnovers in the air fryer basket.

Step Four: Beat an egg in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each croissant with the egg wash. This step gives the rolled croissant a golden, shiny finish. Spray the bake with nonstick cooking spray or line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Place the unbaked croissants in the basket, set cook time for 8-10 minutes or until the croissants are puffed up and golden brown.

Arby’s Chocolate Turnovers Recipe Tips

  • Seal the edges well: Use a fork to crimp the edges of the crescent dough to prevent the chocolate from leaking during baking.
  • Don’t overfill: A small amount of chocolate goes a long way. Overfilling may cause the turnovers to burst open.
  • Use parchment paper: Line your baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Customize the filling: Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt, a spoonful of Nutella, or chopped nuts for extra flavor.
  • Brush with butter: Brushing the tops with melted butter before baking helps achieve that golden, bakery-style finish.
  • Let them cool slightly: Chocolate filling will be very hot—cool for 5 minutes before serving to avoid burns.
  • Serve with dipping sauce: Optional but delicious—serve with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or raspberry sauce for a fun twist.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

Store leftover chocolate turnovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in the air fryer or oven at 300°F for 3–5 minutes, or freeze them for up to 2 months and reheat straight from frozen.

Arby’s Chocolate Turnovers Recipe FAQ’s​

Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls? Yes! Puff pastry will give you a flakier texture similar to the original Arby’s version. Just adjust the baking time as needed.

What kind of chocolate chips work best? Semi-sweet chocolate chips are classic, but you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preference.

Can I make these turnovers ahead of time? Yes, assemble and refrigerate them up to 1 day in advance. Bake just before serving for the best texture.

Do I need to seal the edges? Yes, press the edges with a fork to prevent chocolate from leaking out while baking.

Can I add anything else inside? Absolutely! Try adding a spoonful of Nutella, peanut butter, or chopped nuts for a fun twist.
