Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a mixer, whisk eggs, yolks, half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla.
Meanwhile, slice croissants and lay bottoms in a 9x13 casserole dish.
Sprinkle the chips on top and replace the tops.
Pour the custard over the croissants and soak for 10 minutes.
Press down gently a couple of times.
Place the pan in a larger one and fill with 1-inch of hot water.
Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil.
You want to tent it so it doesn't touch the croissants.
Poke a few holes in the foil, too.
Bake covered 45 mins.
Then bake another 45 minutes uncovered.
Cool a few minutes and sprinkle on chips and powdered sugar.
Can serve with syrup, whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
