Ingredients

2 sheets puff pastry, from a 17.3 ounce package thawed but still cold
¾ cup Nutella
1 large egg beaten
1 teaspoon water
coarse sugar for sprinkling
1 tablespoon finely chopped nuts optional
1 tablespoon finely chopped fruit such as bananas or strawberries optional

Instructions

Thaw puff pastry according to package instructions.
Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and water. Set aside.
Lightly flour your surface. Unfold one thawed puff pastry sheet and lay it flat. Roll it out a few times length and width-wise until the seams are blended.
Use an offset spatula to spread the Nutella evenly on the puff pastry sheet. Leave about a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle lightly with finely chopped nuts or fruit, if using.
Place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the first sheet. Gently press the edges to seal them.
Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into 1 inch wide strips. Cut the strips in half, if desired.*
Pick the strip up and twist the ends in opposite directions until strip twists. Place twists on baking sheet.
Brush the twists with the egg wash. Sprinkle generously with coarse sugar.
Bake 15-20 minutes until twists have are puffed, flaky and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes. Enjoy warm!

Notes

*Recipe makes about 12 full length twists or 24 smaller twists.

These chocolate puff pastries are best when they're fresh because that is when they are flaky and crispy.

Storage: Store leftover Nutella puff pastry in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Leftovers are best warmed in a toaster oven or in a 300 F oven for a few minutes. This will bring back some of the flakiness of the pastry. Freeze these twists in a freezer safe storage bag for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
