Still in the use-’em-up-mode, I tackled a nearly empty bottle of Nutella for another sweet-treat for my frazzled colleagues – Hazelnut Twists. This recipe is a slightly-tweaked version of an appetizer recipe in my Easy Appetizers cookbook.
So it’s a two-fer: a use-’em-up and a 101 List item. That’s what I call multi-tasking!
- Two cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 3-4 oz. hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
Open and unroll one can of dough. Press the dough to seal the perforations. (They now sell crescent roll dough that’s uncut – specially designed for recipes such as this one!)
Open and unroll second can of dough. Press to seal perforations. Lay dough on top of spread.
Cut dough into one inch strips. If you’re making mini-pastries, like I did, you’ll also want to cut it horizontally.
Lightly grease a muffin tin. Twist each strip and place in the muffin tin, sticking the ends at the bottom of each cup.
Bake at 375F for 10-15 minutes, until pastries are golden brown. Cool for a few minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan.
Another yum. (Unless you dont’ like hazelnut, of course. Then you’re just weird – like The Boy.)
Does it taste like (yuck!) peanut butter?
It tastes more like a chocolate.
