Puff Pastry Twists With Nutella

June 17, 2023June 17, 2023 The Wild Gems2 Comments

I made these for my girls for breakfast and we indulged! They were so yummy! Especially with freshly chopped strawberries!

I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!

Servings: 6 pastry twists

What You Need:

1 17oz package of Pepperidge Puff Pastry

5 – 6 generous globs of Nutella (measure with your heart)

3 give or take tablespoons of softened unsalted butter

Egg wash (1 egg white and a dash of milk)

Steps :

1. Thaw out your frozen pastry (35-40 mins). Once thawed out preheat oven to 400.

2. Lay your first sheet of puff pastry on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Spread the Nutella evenly.

3. Lay the second puff pastry directly on top of the puff pastry covered in Nutella. Slice in 6 strips and twist. The twisting doesn’t need to be perfect at all.

4. Bake at 400 for 13-15 minutes. Bake until golden. Once the pastries are done remove from oven and brush with softened butter and allow it to melt all over the twists. Cool for 5 mins.

5. Serve with freshly chopped strawberries and powdered sugar.

Enjoy!

Ree Drummond’s Waffle Recipe Is The BEST EVER

January 30, 2023January 31, 2023 The Wild Gems2 Comments

I think I won some mom brownie points with these waffles this past weekend. They are scrumptious! And well, with a stick of butter of in there, of course they are!

Don’t you love when you try a new recipe and you are pleasantly surprised! Of course sometimes you try something new and you experience disappointment. But sometimes the recipe risk is the best thing ever!

I’ll be making these today and actually freezing them so my girls can eat them for the rest of the week. We topped our waffles with fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. I hope you enjoy these as much as our family did!
