Warm or bake croissants as necessary. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart or larger saucepan, stir together sugar, flour, cocoa powder and salt. Place pot over medium heat; gradually add milk, whisking constantly until well-blended and smooth. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thickened, about 5 to 6 minutes.
