Satisfy your sweet craving with this simple and quick dessert. These easy puff pastry Nutella twists are so divine, I bet you can’t eat just one of them. Add these delectable treats to your holiday entertaining recipe repertoire or bring them to your next holiday party.
I’m going to tell you a story.
Once upon a time there was a food blogger who (as per usual) decided to start her holiday baking a little too late. The house was filled with illness for the two weeks leading up to Christmas and so she had little time, and even less energy to prepare scrumptious treats for her family – and not to mention guests for her upcoming Christmas party. The day of the party had arrived and she was desperate for a quick dessert to serve to her party guests. Low and behold she discovered a lone package of puff pastry hidden in the freezer, and thankfully, before she had time to finish off the tub of Nutella she was devouring, she put two and two together and created this ah-mazing dessert!
The story is true, and so is the description of these decadent Nutella twists. In fact, they exceeded my expectations. These easy puff pastry Nutella twists were a show stopper at my Christmas party, and I’m not surprised. They’re flaky, chewy, buttery, and oh-so rich and decadent. And for the record, you can’t just eat one of them – just ask my party guests! A light dusting of icing sugar finishes off this quick and easy party-friendly dessert.
Note: These twists can be filled with substitutes for the Nutella however, the results may vary. I prepared these with jam, almond butter, and peanut butter combined with Nutella. If using jam, be sure to seal the twists as best as you can to avoid the jam seeping out from the sides. Almond and peanut butter are fantastic combinations with Nutella however, since they are much oilier than Nutella the result is much denser and less flaky. In my opinion, the Nutella had by far the best results!

How thin do you roll the pastry
I actually don’t roll out the pastry! I buy the frozen ones…just roll out onto baking sheet and you’re ready to go!
Made these today! So easy and so delicious!
Yay! So glad you finally made them…did you guys finish these off as quickly as you did the sweet potato brownies? lol!
Oh, we ate them much faster lol
Success!!! 😉
Can these be frozen and thawed when needed?
Hi Carmela! I have stored a batch in the freezer and then let them thaw shortly before eating. They still taste great however, the texture is not as light and crispy as when first baked. You could try reheating them on low heat in the oven to try and get that crispiness back. They are still delicious though 😉
Thanks so much will do
My son is obsessed with nutella! So much so that I can’t have it in the house because he’ll just try to devour it all! He would love this recipe. I have to give it a go.
Isn’t Nutella one of everyone’s favourite things?! I’ve yet to meet someone who doesn’t like it!
I think i may have just died an gone to heaven. Nutella is one of my favorite things, aside from pastries, so the two together has me very excited! Your story sounds exactly like mine with the entire family being sick two weeks before Christmas, because thats exactly what happened to us! I can’t wait to try this!
Whoa! I can easily see why these treats would be an instant show stopper! While I hate that you were sick, especially around the Christmas holiday, I love that this recipe was created! I’ll be sharing this recipe with my Nutella loving friends!
Almond and peanut butter sounds like heaven. I think this combination is a great comforting treat during holidays. I’d love to try your recipe of these nutella twists. Thanks for sharing it!
My whole family loves Nutella. I have never thought of doing this and I do not know why. we are going to a mountain cabin this weekend, thinking I will make these for a yummy breakfast treat on New Years Day. Thank you for the yummy idea.
So do we! That’s why it’s such a hit!
These look really good. I love Nutella. I’m sure I would really love having these too. I think it would make a great snack for my girls after school too.
I love Nutella and pastries so these would be great for me. I’m going to try them. I’m hosting a party on New Year’s Eve so that may be when I try them.
That’s great! I’d love to hear what your guests think of them!
These are really good!
Glad you liked them!
Two of my favorite ingredients – pastry and Nutella. I think I could make this without doing too much damage.
These are perfect for you then 😉
These look dangerous! Great idea Lisa!
They are actually! And it’s too easy to eat more than one!
