I've done it with puff pastry and had very good results. I've
used chocolate, fruit, and savory filling etc, all the same that you'd
use for a croissant. It will not be the same as a crossaint however. It
will lack the yeasty flavor and unique texture that a true
croissant has.

The advantage of it is that you don't have the timing and
temperature issues that you do with a yeasted croissant, i.e.
there is no rising of dough, etc. The logistics are much simpler
with puff pastry, but what you end up with is a puff pastry
product, not croissants.
