Nutella Crescent Rolls

Why You’ll Love Nutella Filled Crescent Rolls

• You only need four easy-to-find ingredients.
• They’re so simple to make, even the kids can help out.
• The soft crescent rolls with a bit of chocolatey Nutella in every bit is 100% irresistible

Step 1 – Remove and unroll the crescent roll dough from the package. Separate the triangles along the perforations.

Step 2 – Spread about 1 tablespoon Nutella on each triangle.

Step 3 – Carefully roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and finishing with the tip of the triangle on the top of the roll.

Step 4 – Place the crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg.

Step 5 – Bake in a preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, until the rolls are golden brown.

Step 6 – Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling down.

Step 7 – Place chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, and heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth.

Step 8 – Return crescent rolls to parchment paper and drizzle melted chocolate on top of the cooled rolls. Allow to set before serving.

Essential Tips:

Don’t skip these tips – read them before baking to avoid any potential mistakes.

• Be careful not to overfill your crescent rolls. Too much Nutella inside will leak out with messy results.
• Make sure to let the crescent rolls cool down before drizzling with chocolate. Otherwise, the melted chocolate will slide right off.
• Making these for a crowd? Cut each crescent roll triangle in half to create mini two-bite versions.

FAQs:

Can You Use Other Chocolate Flavored Spreads?

Yes, you can use other chocolate flavored spreads or even homemade Nutella. Just be sure to adjust the amount of filling accordingly – some brands are thinner than others and are more likely to ooze out of your crescent rolls.

Here are some other options you can try:

• Hershey’s chocolate spread
• Chocolate flavored Sunbutter (great when you’re hosting kids with nut allergies)
• Biscoff cookie butter

Can I Make These Crescent Rolls Ahead of Time?

These Crescent rolls are best enjoyed on the day you make them, but you can prepare them up to a day in advance. See storage notes for more details.

What Can I Substitute for Crescent Rolls?

If you don’t have crescent rolls on hand, you can use any type of puff pastry or pie crust. Just cut your dough into 8 triangles and follow the rest of the preparation instructions.

Note: Bake time and temperature may vary, so keep an eye on your rolls while baking to make sure they don’t get overcooked.

More Ways to Enjoy Your Nutella Crescent Rolls:

There are so many things that pair well with hazelnut spread. Here are some ideas:

• Add a light sprinkle of kosher salt on the melted chocolate before it sets for a sweet and salty combination.
• Include fresh fruit inside your crescent rolls. Strawberries, raspberries, apple slices, and even mandarin oranges are all delicious options.
• Reduce the amount of Nutella and add a large marshmallow inside the crescent roll for a s’mores inspired treat.
• Top your crescent rolls with a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar for even more sweetness.
