Pain au chocolat, or chocolate croissants, are an all-time favorite of mine. I ate one almost every day during our visit to Paris.
So it’s no surprise that this recipe for Nutella puff pastries caught my eye. With just two ingredients and a small portion size, they offer that warm, flaky, chocolatey bite I love — without being overly heavy. If you enjoy simple Nutella desserts like my Simple Low-Calorie Nutella Mousse or the 3-Ingredient Instant Pot Nutella Fudge Cake, these puff pastry bites are another easy, satisfying option.
With a sheet of puff pastry and a spoonful of Nutella, they come together quickly and feel special enough for dessert, brunch, or a sweet snack.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Nutella Puff Pastry Bites Step-by-Step
Step 1: Gather and prepare ingredients and workspace. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Step 2: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean work surface, sprinkled with flour or lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Lightly smooth the surface of the pastry sheet with your hands or a rolling pin (affiliate link). Cut the sheet into 12 squares with a pizza cutter (affiliate link) or sharp knife.
Step 4: Add 1 teaspoon of Nutella to the middle of each square.
Fold the dough in half, covering the Nutella.
Step 5: Dip your fingers in a small bowl (affiliate link) of water and using wet fingers, seal the three sides of pastry.
Step 6: Gently lift the sealed dough puff and place on prepared baking sheet (affiliate link). (I like to line mine with a silpat (affiliate link) for easy cleanup.) Repeat for remaining pastry squares.
Step 7: Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Step 8: Remove pastries to a wire cooling rack (affiliate link).
Recipe Notes & Portion Options
For smaller, bite-size pastries:
- Cut the puff pastry sheet into 24 squares
- Use about ½ teaspoon of Nutella per square
This creates a lighter, single-bite option with fewer calories and WW Points.
For variety, try adding:
- A light dusting of powdered sugar after baking
- A small dab of raspberry or strawberry jam along with the Nutella
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm as an easy dessert
- Add to a brunch buffet for a sweet bite
- Enjoy as a tea-time or afternoon snack
- Pack one as a special lunchbox treat
