IHOP has taken the “unique taste and texture of the classic French croissant” and baking it in a waffle iron creating the latest in food hyrbids the Criss-Croissant. This dish is hand crafted with their fresh croissant dough, cooked on the waffle iron, folded over and filled with one of two choices:

• Blackberry Lemonade: lemonade cream and topped with blackberries
• Strawberry Rhubarb: sweetened cream cheese and topped with strawberry rhubarb topping

Criss-Croissants are available at participating IHOP restaurants through April 5th. Local IHOP locations include Clifton, Englewood, Fair Lawn, Hasbrouck Heights, Ramsey, Spring Valley, Totowa, Teaneck and West Nyack. For more info on Criss-Croissants, visit the IHOP website.
