Place them on a baking sheet and using a pastry brush or spoon, start soaking both sides of the cut open croissants with syrup. Be generous with the syrup.

Once all croissants are filled inside, place the top cut part on top.

Spread out the remaining almond flour mixture on top of the croissants.
