Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped hazelnuts or almonds inside the rolls before baking.
• Try adding a few sliced strawberries or banana pieces with the Nutella for a fruity twist.
• Use homemade Nutella for a more personalized flavor and to control sweetness.
• Air fryer option: bake the crescent rolls at 320°F for about 8-10 minutes, checking for golden color.

Storage

Store leftover Nutella crescent rolls in a covered container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can be gently reheated in a warm oven or microwave for a few seconds to restore their softness. Refrigeration is not necessary.

FAQs

Can I use other fillings instead of Nutella?

Yes! Cream cheese, jam, or peanut butter are great alternatives that work well with crescent rolls.

How do I prevent the rolls from leaking Nutella while baking?

Be sure to spread the Nutella evenly and avoid overfilling. Sealing the edges tightly when rolling helps keep the filling inside during baking.
