These Easy Nutella Croissants are barely a recipe, but they are absolutely delicious. There is something about a buttery flakey croissant filled with the hazelnut cocoa spread and dusted with powdered sugar! A simple recipe that delivers on sweet and buttery hazelnut deliciousness that melts in your mouth!

The simplest of recipes are often the best kind. Life can be complicated enough, so I prefer to not punish myself in the kitchen but rather treat my family & myself to a simple treat.

Making Easy Nutella Croissants are not complicated, yet the flavors are a perfect combination. Buttery croissants, hazelnut & cocoa spread and a dusting of powdered sugar to add a slight sweetness needed to top off this pasty dessert.

The only rule of thumb I would make clear is to not overfill the croissants with Nutella. I little goes a long ways to prevent a leaking mess in your oven.

You can always add some crushed hazelnuts in the filling, but these Easy Nutella Croissants are perfect as is!
