Recipe Introduction


Gianduja is the Italian name for hazelnut-flavored chocolate, a combination especially favored in Switzerland and Italy, where hazelnut-chocolate spreads are as popular as peanut butter in America. The best know Italian spread, Nutella, is available throughout the U.S.





List of Ingredients



• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry from a 17.3 oz box, thawed but well chilled
  
• 3/4 cup Nutella
  
• 1 T unsweetened cocoa
  
• 1 T confectioners' sugar
  






Instructions



1. Unfold the pastry and roll on a lightly floured surface to a 12" square. Use a sharp knife to cut into 9 (4") squares. Place 1 heaping T Nutella in the center of each square, spreading slightly to the sides. Moisten the edges of the pastry by running a damp finger over the edges. Fold the pastry over to form triangles. Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges together. Place the pastries, at least 2" apart, on an ungreased baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes.
   
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake pastries, directly from the freezer, until rich golden brown and well puffed, 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, then serve warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle with cocoa and confectioners' sugar.
