Tree-Shaped Nutella Pie
Who doesn't love Nutella? I find myself craving the hazelnut treat in colder months, as it scratches that sweet itch while also delivering a silky mouthfeel. And you all know puff pastry is the most delectable of all the pastries!
This recipe is so easy, even my aunt could make it. That's not as much of a dig against my aunt as it is for the ease of this recipe. If you'd like to see the original, check out Tastemade.com
