Nutella Croissants

The perfect combination of warm, gooey, flaky, buttery, and sweet.
Nutella-Croissants For me, nutella represents something magical.  I remember my first days at kindergarten were very traumatic for me (as for all children). I remember the tears, the fears, the cries in the corridor… There were new smells that did not familiar to me.


But what made me feel even worse was being away from my house, my toys, my habits…I gradually got over this phase, but the best moment was when I took my snack box and opened it – I felt like it belonged to me. There was sandwich wrapped up in film filled with my beloved nutella. For me it was like being at home. I felt protected by the smell that I knew so well…

Nutella Croissants
Suddenly, it hit me. In my pantry, in front of all my baking equipment stood a jar of Nutella. As I looked at this Nutella it became so perfectly clear to me, I’m about to make one of my favorite (and super easy) treats, Nutella Croissant Rolls. There are only three ingredients, four if you’re counting water.
