Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz)
  • 1/3 cup Nutella or homemade Nutella
  • Optional chopped hazelnuts, powdered sugar, or melted chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles along the seams and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Spread about two teaspoons of Nutella onto each triangle, then sprinkle any optional toppings like chopped hazelnuts if desired.
  4. Step 4: Roll up each triangle starting from the wide end to form crescent shapes.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 12 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown.
  6. Step 6: If you like, drizzle with melted chocolate and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a crunchier texture, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts inside before rolling.
  • Try adding a few slices of banana or strawberries along with Nutella for a fruity twist.
  • Use homemade Nutella for a richer, less sweet option.
  • If preferred, bake these in an air fryer at 350°F for 8–10 minutes for faster results.

Storage

Store leftover Nutella crescent rolls in a covered container at room temperature. They stay fresh for 2 to 3 days and do not require refrigeration. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven before serving to restore their softness.

How to Serve

A baking sheet lined with brown parchment paper holds eight uncooked crescent rolls filled with melted chocolate, arranged in two vertical columns; each roll is light beige with a soft dough texture, wrapped in overlapping triangular layers that reveal dark glossy chocolate peeking out at the ends and in some small spots on the sides. Small drops and smears of chocolate are on the parchment, showing oozing from some rolls. The baking sheet edges frame the arrangement, all set against a white marbled textured background.

FAQs

Can I use regular crescent rolls instead of refrigerated ones?

Refrigerated crescent rolls are recommended for their texture and ease of use, but you can try homemade dough if you prefer, adjusting baking time accordingly.

Can I freeze these crescent rolls?

Yes, unbaked rolls can be frozen on the baking sheet and transferred to a freezer bag. Bake them from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
