Note from Sabrina
Nutella is easy to find in most grocery stores, you can also make some from scratch. You will find my recipe for homemade Nutella down below. Make a big batch and store what you don’t use in an airtight container or mason jar. It’ll keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or 2 months in the fridge.

About this Recipe
If you’re as obsessed with Nutella as I am, you’ll love these easy pastry twists! Just thaw some frozen puff pastry, swirl on that dreamy chocolate hazelnut spread, and bake! No fancy dough required. They’re perfect for brunch, holiday parties, quick breakfasts, or even a sweet treat paired with ice cream.
Ingredients
- Puff pastry: Make sure the puff pastry dough is cold so that you can slice it easily without smashing it.
- Nutella: If the Nutellla is too hard to spread, you can microwave it on half power for a few seconds.
- Egg wash: Egg wash makes sure the pastry is shiny and golden brown and helps sanding sugar stick to the twists
Can this be made ahead of time?
Yes, these twist are great to make ahead of time an have them ready for a quick grab and go treat. After you make them, store them in an air tight container. This pasty will stay good for up to a week. You can also keep them in the fridge for up to three weeks, but if your like me, this treat is too irresistible to last that long before they are all eaten!

I greatly appreciate the way you organized the recipe. The instructions were concise but clear. Very well Done!
Thank you Teresa and thanks for the five star review!
Your blog has so many pop up advertisements that you can’t read the recipes. 🙁 🙁
These are so good. I have made them twice now and both times none left
I am going to make these tomorrow with my granddaughter but may I say that the advertisements you have on your site are obliterating the recipe and makes it hard to read and follow.
Thanks for posting this recipe.
Thank you for letting us know.
Took these to brunch this morning, they were a big hit! Question: Pepperidge Farm puff pastry instructions say to bake at 400. Your instructions say 350, I split the difference and baked at 375. Is there a reason for the difference in temperature?
What a great question! How did they turn out for you? I baked at 350 degrees and they were yummy!
Freeze before or after baking?
I’m not sure I understand your question, I apologize.
This recipe encourages you to use puff pastry dough to save time. It generally comes frozen from the store so you will need to thaw the dough (but still needs to be cold) to assemble the twists.
If you would like to freeze the twists for a future event or for leftovers (if there are any!), these twists are able to be frozen in a freezer-safe storage bag or container for up to 3 months.
So good but so easy! My family loves these. I’m taking them to a potluck tonight.
Do these store overnight? Wanting to make ahead….
Yep! If you scroll up the blog post has a section on how to store them.
Went to make them but out of Nutella! Had a jar of biscoff spread so made them with it. They were a big hit made big tray of 50 not one left ??
Really long. I cut them in half almost would do 3rds. Very good though. I added heath bar crunch to Nutella.
I think I’ll frost them with a burned butter frosting.
My ginger friend loves them
