Croissant vs. croissantS: Uso do plural em frase
Como ficaria a frase em inglês: Eu gosto de croissant de chocolate. Seria I like chocolate croissant ou croissantS? Um professor de inglês me disse que o correto seria no plural, mas porque?

If we think of it as a group, say croissants grouped as such.
That is, we say "I like dogs/cats, etc" we don't say "I like dog/cat", so croissants are a type of pastry.
If you want it specific though, you can say "I like the chocolate croissant"/"I like this dog" etc - usually you are pointing to the stuff or you say that when speaking of more types of pastries or snack food, etc. Or still adding more information as in "...I like the chocolate croissant as well." (that is, I like something else too).
Fact is, if you say "I like chocholate croissants.", you can't go wrong.
