Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Rolls

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)

Filling and Toppings

  • 1/3 cup Nutella (or homemade Nutella)
  • Optional toppings: chopped hazelnuts
  • Optional toppings: powdered sugar
  • Optional toppings: melted chocolate chips for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crescent rolls.
  2. Prepare Dough: Open the can of refrigerated crescent rolls and carefully separate the dough into individual triangles along the perforated seams.
  3. Add Nutella Filling: Place the triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella onto the wide end of each triangle evenly.
  4. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or other toppings on top of the Nutella for added crunch and flavor.
  5. Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up into a crescent shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  6. Bake: Place the rolled crescents on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, optionally drizzle with melted chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar for an extra special finish. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  8. Storage: Store any leftovers in a covered container at room temperature. These crescent rolls do not require refrigeration.

Notes

  • You can substitute Nutella with homemade hazelnut chocolate spread if preferred.
  • For crunch, toasted chopped hazelnuts add a delightful texture.
  • Leftover crescent rolls are best enjoyed within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Reheating in a warm oven or microwave briefly will refresh their flakiness.
