FAQs

Can I use homemade puff pastry?

Yes! Homemade puff pastry works well, but store-bought is quicker and just as delicious.

How do I prevent the Nutella from oozing out?

Spread a thin layer and avoid overfilling. Press the edges gently to seal the pastry layers.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the twists and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking.

Can I use a different chocolate spread?

Absolutely! Any chocolate or nut-based spread works great.

How do I keep my puff pastry crisp?

Serve fresh or reheat in the oven rather than the microwave.

What can I serve these with?

Enjoy them with coffee, hot chocolate, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Can I add extra flavors?

Yes! A sprinkle of sea salt or cocoa powder enhances the chocolate flavor.

What if I don’t have an egg for egg wash?

Brush with milk or melted butter for a similar golden effect.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! Use a gluten-free puff pastry alternative.

How do I get extra flaky layers?

Chill the assembled twists for 10 minutes before baking to help the puff pastry rise beautifully.
