Not that I would ever claim to know every French pastry, but I’m reasonably certain that there’s nothing in all of France or in the French language named ‘cwah-sont’.
It’s as close as some English speakers can get. Some people can’t make foreign sounds. The ‘sant’ ‘sont’ ending is not right either, its more like a sohn ending with imperceptible nasal n. But again have you heard people to to speak a foreign language, it usually sounds terrible.

Assuming no sarcasm, Its a spelling attempt at the French pronuncitation of croissant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnAoRcnY4xs
That makes zero sense.
The examples of English pronounciations she gives there are truly bizarre.
