- 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough - 1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread - 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts (toasted if desired) - 1 egg (for egg wash) - 1 tablespoon milk - Powdered sugar (for dusting) - A pinch of sea salt - You can use almond butter or peanut butter instead of chocolate hazelnut spread. - Try walnuts or pecans in place of hazelnuts for a different crunch. - For a dairy-free egg wash, use a mixture of water and oil. These ingredients come together to create a treat that warms the heart. Each bite offers a mix of soft dough, rich chocolate, and crunchy nuts. You can easily swap ingredients to make these crescents fit your taste. Using different spreads or nuts can change the flavor in fun ways. 1. Preheating the oven and preparing the baking sheet First, heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that your crescents bake evenly. While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the crescents from sticking and makes cleanup easy. 2. Unrolling and separating the crescent roll dough Next, grab your can of refrigerated crescent roll dough. Open the can carefully to avoid a surprise pop! Unroll the dough on a clean surface. You’ll see that it separates into triangles. Make sure to keep them distinct, as you will fill each one. 1. Adding filling to the dough triangles Now comes the fun part! Take a generous teaspoon of chocolate hazelnut spread and place it at the wide end of each triangle. Don’t be shy; you want a nice, gooey center! Then, sprinkle a few chopped hazelnuts on top. This adds crunch and flavor. Finally, add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the sweetness. 2. Rolling and sealing the crescents Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip. Make sure to tuck the filling inside as you go. Press the edges lightly to seal them. This step keeps the yummy filling from leaking out while baking. 1. Applying egg wash and baking time In a small bowl, whisk together one egg and one tablespoon of milk. This mixture is called egg wash. Brush it over the tops of your crescents. This gives them a nice golden color as they bake. Place the stuffed crescents on your prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. 2. Cooling and dusting with powdered sugar Bake the crescents in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them until they turn golden brown and puff up. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Just before serving, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. To make your Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Crescents great, start with the right oven temp. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This temperature helps the dough puff up nicely. Bake them for 12-15 minutes. Watch for a golden color; it means they are ready! To get a flaky texture, do not rush. Allow enough space between each crescent on the baking sheet. This space lets hot air flow. It helps them bake evenly and rise well. When serving, make it look pretty! Place the crescents on a rustic wooden board. You can also use a bright plate to make colors pop. Add fresh berries or mint leaves for a lovely touch. Pair your crescents with a glass of cold milk, coffee, or even hot chocolate. Each bite is better with a drink to balance the sweet flavors. Many people overfill their crescents. This can cause the filling to ooze out while baking. Stick to a generous teaspoon of chocolate hazelnut spread. Trust me, it is enough! Also, sealing the edges is key. If they are not sealed well, the filling escapes. Gently press the edges together after rolling. This step ensures a delicious surprise inside each bite. {{image_2}} You can change up the flavor of your Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Crescents in fun ways. Try using different chocolate spreads like white chocolate or dark chocolate. Each option gives a new taste twist. You can also infuse flavors with spices or extracts. A dash of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla can add warmth and depth to your treat. For those with dietary needs, there are easy swaps. Use gluten-free crescent roll options to make this treat safe for everyone. Many brands offer gluten-free dough that works just as well. For a vegan version, look for egg-free dough and a plant-based chocolate spread. These changes let more people enjoy these delicious crescents. The filling is where you can get really creative! Try adding fruits like sliced bananas or berries for a fresh pop. Cream cheese adds a rich and tangy flavor, too. You can even mix in some peanut butter for a nutty twist. The options are endless, and each one can make your crescents unique and tasty. To keep your Chocolate Hazelnut Stuffed Crescents fresh, place them in an airtight container. This will help prevent them from drying out. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just make sure to wrap each crescent well in plastic wrap before placing them in a freezer bag. They can last in the freezer for about a month. To reheat your crescents, the best method is to use an oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the crescents on a baking sheet and cover them loosely with foil. Bake for about 10 minutes. This will warm them through without making them soggy. If you want to restore their crispiness, remove the foil for the last few minutes of baking. You can also use an air fryer for a quick reheat. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and heat for 5 to 7 minutes. This will give them a nice crunch. Enjoy your delicious treats warm! It takes about 10 minutes to prep and 12-15 minutes to cook. The total time is around 25 minutes. You can enjoy these tasty treats in no time! Yes, you can freeze them! After baking, let them cool completely. Place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can last up to two months in the freezer. To thaw, just leave them in the fridge overnight or warm them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes. You can serve them with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a scoop of ice cream. A drizzle of chocolate sauce also adds a fun touch. Pair them with coffee or tea for a lovely afternoon snack!
