Nutella Hearts

I was cleaning out my kitchen drawers recently and found a whole whack of cookie cutters. Among the pile was heart shaped cookie cutters I bought a few years ago and never used. Oops. I set it on top of the microwave so I would remember to use them this year in time for Valentine’s day. Inspiration hit me when I was driving my daughter to work. I always get ideas at the worst possible times!

My idea was to make heart shaped crescent rolls of with a filling. My youngest is obsessed with Nutella and we have a few jars hanging out in the pantry. I knew this recipe would be the perfect way to use them.

These Nutella Hearts are so easy  to make. Even a kid could help make them.

I love Pillsbury crescent rolls because half the job is done for you. Use their dough and save a ton of time and energy. I’ve always had great results any time I use their products.

    Using clean hands and fingers, press the dough together. I pops out in crescent rolls shapes so you’ll want to make it all one big sheet so you can use your cookie cutter on it.

    I used about 1/2 tsp of Nutella in the middle of each heart. I didn’t want to pack it too full or I wouldn’t be able to close my hearts and risk them popping open. Though I can’t see how overflowing chocolate could ever be a bad thing…

    I was happy to see they kept their heart shape after baking and were puffy, golden brown. Inside was melted Nutella. Mmmmm. I decorated the top with drizzles of milk chocolate and white chocolate chips. They remind me a little of chocolate croissants.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls

    • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven.
