Recipe Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Puff pastry:<\/strong> You can use either homemade or store-bought puff pastry. I use store-bought, it's a big time-saver and so convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutella:<\/strong> For that rich, luscious chocolate filling! Feel free to use a homemade version if you wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Egg:<\/strong> For egg wash that gives the pastry a beautiful sheen. You can use cream instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings:<\/strong> Almond flakes make the chocolate pastry puffs look so pretty, and they add an extra nuttiness and crunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
