Croissants covered with a sweet glaze or filled with chocolate are common in bakeries and convenience stores. 
Uncooked croissant can also be wrapped around any praline, almond paste or chocolate before it is baked (in the last case, it becomes like "pain au chocolat", which has a different, non-crescent, shape), or sliced to admit sweet or savoury fillings. Indeed, it may be flavoured with dried fruit such as sultanas or raisins, or other fruits such as apples. In France and Spain, croissants are generally sold without filling and eaten without added butter, but sometimes with almond filling. In the United States, sweet fillings or toppings are common, and warm croissants may be filled with ham and cheese or feta cheese and spinach. In the Levant, croissants are sold plain or filled with chocolate, cheese, almonds, or zaatar. In Germany, croissants are sometimes filled with Nutella or persipan; in Southern Germany there also is a popular variety of a croissant glazed with lye ("Laugencroissant"). In the German-speaking part of Switzerland, the croissant is typically called a "Gipfeli" [g̥ɪp͡fəli], which typically has a crisper crust and is less buttery than the French style croissant.
Ditsch is a German chain of pretzel bars also selling croissants and pizza snacks. It operates approximately 200 outlets in Germany but also has 13 outlets in the United Kingdom. 
In addition to French baguettes, Lee's Sandwiches bakes an assorted array of pastries including butter croissants, danishes, almond croissants, and coconut raisin croissants, ham & cheese croissants, French horns, pâté chauds, muffins, and coconut waffles. 
In Iran, they are most often sold in packages at supermarkets and convenience stores, and occasionally made fresh in pastry shops. The packaged variety are most popular amongst schoolchildren as a quick breakfast. In Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Germany, Belgium, Norway, Ireland and the United Kingdom they are sold in most bakeries, supermarkets and cafés. In Spain they are sold in bakeries and supermarkets as "napolitanas". In Mexico they are also most commonly found in bakeries and supermarkets, and are known as "chocolatines". In the United States, Canada, and Australia they are often referred to as "chocolate croissants". In New Zealand they are commonly referred to as "chocolate croissants" and are sold freshly baked in most bakeries and supermarkets.
