What Kind of Dough Should I Use for Baked Nutella Bombs?

Refrigerated biscuit dough or crescent roll dough works beautifully here. It’s flaky, pillowy, and holds the Nutella inside without leaking. Crescent dough gives more of a buttery, layered effect, while biscuit dough offers a fluffier finish. Choose whichever texture you prefer—both are winners.

Ingredients for the Baked Nutella Bombs

Nutella – The heart of the recipe. It melts slightly in the oven, giving you a luscious, gooey center.

Refrigerated biscuit dough – This shortcut saves time while delivering a soft, golden crust around each Nutella core.

Unsalted butter – Brushed on top before baking for extra golden-brown shine and a richer bite.

Granulated sugar – For rolling after baking to give a sweet crust.

Cinnamon – Mixed with sugar to create a warm, spiced finish.

How To Make the Baked Nutella Bombs

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Take each biscuit and flatten it gently with your fingers. Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each dough round.

Step 3: Seal the Bombs

Fold the edges over the Nutella and pinch tightly to seal. Roll gently into a ball, making sure there are no cracks where the filling could leak.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Place each Nutella-filled ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted butter. Bake for 13–15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 5: Cinnamon-Sugar Coating

While the bombs are still warm, roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon. This adds texture and a sweet finish that balances the creamy center.

How to Store Nutella Bombs

To store leftovers, let the bombs cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds or warm them in the oven at 300°F for 5 minutes to revive their fresh-baked texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use puff pastry instead of biscuit dough?
Yes, puff pastry works well too! It creates a crispier exterior but still holds the Nutella perfectly.

Can these be made ahead of time?
You can assemble the bombs in advance and refrigerate them up to 1 day before baking. Just bake right before serving for the best results.

Can I freeze Nutella bombs?
Yes, freeze them after baking. Reheat directly from frozen in a 325°F oven for about 10–12 minutes.

Is there a way to make them dairy-free?
Use a dairy-free biscuit dough and vegan chocolate hazelnut spread. Swap butter for coconut oil or vegan butter.

Do I have to use cinnamon sugar?
Nope! You can dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate instead.
