Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough, 8 rolls each
- 1/2 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prep
- Set the oven to the temperature listed on the crescent dough package, typically 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Open the dough and separate it into 16 triangles.
- Spread 1½ teaspoons of chocolate-hazelnut spread over each triangle, leaving a narrow border of uncovered dough around the edges.
- Assemble
- Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward its point, keeping the filling enclosed.
- Gently pinch any openings closed to reduce leaking. Arrange the rolls with the pointed ends underneath, spacing them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake and Serve
- Bake according to the dough package directions, generally 10–13 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Bake one sheet at a time for consistent browning, or bake both together and rotate the pans halfway through.
- Let the rolls cool on their pans for 5 minutes.
- Use a small fine-mesh strainer to dust the tops with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
Notes
Substitutions: Use another chocolate-hazelnut spread or a smooth chocolate spread with a similar consistency. Avoid thin chocolate sauces, which can leak during baking.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings: Serve with strawberries, raspberries, coffee, or cold milk. Add them to a brunch spread alongside eggs and fresh fruit.
Storage: Cool completely before placing in an airtight container. Keep at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat at 300°F for 5–8 minutes, or until warmed through.
Freezing: Freeze cooled rolls without powdered sugar in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
