Ingredients
- Croissants
- Nutella
- Peanut Butter

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Carefully slice each croissant horizontally, creating a pocket without cutting completely through.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the Nutella for 15-20 seconds to make it more spreadable.
- Using a butter knife or small spatula, spread a generous layer of peanut butter on one interior side of the croissant.
- On the opposite interior side, spread a generous layer of warmed Nutella, ensuring even coverage.
- Gently press the croissant halves together, allowing the Nutella and peanut butter to slightly blend.
- Place the filled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, until the croissants are warm and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve for added sweetness and presentation.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the melted Nutella and peanut butter filling.
Tips
- Choose high-quality, fresh croissants for the best texture and flavor.
- Warm the Nutella briefly to make spreading easier, but avoid overheating.
- Use room temperature peanut butter for smoother spreading.
- Don't overfill the croissants to prevent messy leaks during baking.
- Watch the croissants carefully while baking to prevent burning.
- For extra richness, use a mix of creamy and crunchy peanut butter.
- Experiment with different powdered sugar designs for a stunning presentation.
- Serve immediately for the most gooey and delicious experience.
- Pair with a cold glass of milk or hot coffee for the ultimate treat.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly before serving.
