Nutella Puff Pastry Bites – Because Everything’s Better with Nutella

Let’s be real—Nutella makes everything better. You could spread it on toast, swirl it into brownies, or just eat it straight from the jar (no judgment). But if you’re looking for an easy, flaky, chocolate-filled treat that looks way fancier than it actually is, these Nutella Puff Pastry Bites are exactly what you need.

They’re buttery, crispy, filled with melty Nutella, and only require five ingredients. The hardest part? Not eating them all at once.

Ingredients (Just 5!)

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed) – The secret to that perfectly crispy, golden bite.
• ½ cup Nutella – The star of the show.
• 1 egg (for egg wash) – Gives that beautiful golden shine.
• Powdered sugar (for dusting) – Because we’re feeling fancy.
• ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended) – Adds a little extra warmth and depth.

How to Make Nutella Puff Pastry Bites

Step 1: Prep Your Puff Pastry

First things first—make sure your puff pastry is thawed (but still cold). If it’s frozen solid, it’ll crack when you try to roll it out. If it’s too warm, it’ll get sticky and hard to work with.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry slightly to smooth it out, then cut it into small squares (about 2×2 inches).

Step 2: Add the Nutella

Spoon a small dollop (about ½ tsp) of Nutella onto the center of half the squares. Don’t overfill—as tempting as it is, too much Nutella will leak out when baking.

Step 3: Seal the Edges

Place another puff pastry square on top of each Nutella-covered one. Use a fork to press down the edges, sealing in all that chocolatey goodness.

For extra security, brush the edges with a tiny bit of water or egg wash before sealing.

Step 4: Egg Wash for That Golden Finish

In a small bowl, beat one egg and brush it lightly over the tops of each pastry. This will give them that gorgeous golden-brown shine.

Step 5: Bake Until Perfectly Flaky

Place the pastries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown.

Try to resist the urge to eat them straight from the oven (unless you enjoy molten Nutella burns).

Step 6: Dust and Serve

Once they’ve cooled slightly, dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon for that final touch. Then, dig in.

How to Make Them Even Better

🔥 Drizzle with melted chocolate – Because more chocolate is never a bad idea.

🍓 Serve with fresh berries – The tartness pairs perfectly with the rich Nutella.

🍦 Add a scoop of ice cream – Warm pastry + cold ice cream = pure happiness.

🌰 Sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top – For extra crunch and flavor.

How to Store & Reheat

These are best fresh out of the oven, but if you somehow have leftovers:

• Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days.
• Reheat in the oven for a few minutes at 350°F (175°C) to get that crispiness back. (Microwaving will make them soft.)

Final Thoughts

Nutella Puff Pastry Bites prove that you don’t need to be a pastry chef to make something amazing. They’re flaky, chocolatey, buttery, and stupidly easy to make. Whether you’re baking for guests or just treating yourself, these little bites of happiness never disappoint.

So go ahead—make a batch, pour yourself a coffee, and enjoy every bite. Just don’t blame me when you end up making them every weekend.
