HOW TO MAKE NUTELLA CRESCENT ROLLS

Preparation: Heat oven to 375°F. Line the baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

Assemble the rolls: Prepare crescent roll triangles. Spread 1 teaspoon of chocolate hazelnut on each, leaving a 1/2-3/4-inch margin from the edge. Roll from wide end to tip, creating a crescent. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining triangles.

Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, combine 1 egg, 1 tbsp water, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk together. Brush crescent rolls with egg wash using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Bake the rolls: Place crescents in preheated oven. Bake for 15 mins, or until slightly golden and crisp to your liking. Take them out and allow them to cool, and enjoy!

PRO TIPS

Sprinkle kosher salt on Nutella and hazelnuts before rolling the dough for a delightfully sweet and salty taste.

Add a generous sprinkle of powdered sugar to the top of Nutella Crescent Roll for extra sweetness and a beautiful finish.

Combine hazelnuts and strawberries for great flavor! Enhance Easy Nutella Crescent Rolls with sliced strawberries on top.
