What are Nutella Twists?

Nutella twists are delicious pastries made from twisted strips of puff pastry sheets coated in a layer of sweet chocolatey Nutella. The third ingredient, an egg, is used to brush the puff pastry to give a perfect, golden crust. Nutella twists are an incredibly quick and easy dessert to make — with only a mere five minutes of prep work.
