- 4 croissants
- 1 cup (294g) Nutella hazelnut chocolate spread
- 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows
Preheat oven to 350F / 180C / gas 4.
Use a paring knife to cut out a circle and hollow out the middle of each croissant.
Add ¼ cup of Nutella to each hollowed-out area and spread with a knife.
Place about a fourth the mini marshmallows on top of the Nutella.
Bake the croissant boats for 10-12 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown.
Tips For Success
- Cut the croissants from the top rather than the sides and scoop out a little extra bread to make a boat shape.
- Line your baking sheet with foil or parchment for quick and easy cleanup.
- Larger croissants are better as you have more space to fill up.
Variations
- Add Fruit - Add sliced strawberries, bananas, or even a spoonful of jelly before topping with marshmallows.
- Go Nutty - Add a bit of peanut butter or sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts, pecans, or walnuts.
- Make it savory - cheese, mushroom, bacon, peppers, sausage and more are all good options.
Budget-Friendly Tips
- Buy Day Old Croissants - Since these are filled and baked, day-old croissants work perfectly and can often be purchased at a discount.
- Stock Up and Freeze - Croissants and Marshmallows both freeze well for several months. Stock up when they are on sale.
- Buy Generic - Nutella can be expensive. Look for store brand chocolate hazelnut spread.
