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.
Reduce heat to low. Add butter; stir until melted and well-blended. Remove pan from heat; stir in vanilla. Cut croissants in half. Serve 1/4 cup sauce over each warm croissant half. Garnish each plate with 4 strawberries, whole or sliced.
