The box variety of pop tarts have long been my guilty pleasure. For whatever reason, they call to me. Scream to me. So I have been wanting to make homemade pop tarts for a while because if boxed pop tarts can be that addicting, I could only imagine how much more intoxicatingly delicious homemade pop tarts would be. And then I made these Nutella Pop Tarts. Mind. blown. Buttery, flaky pastry glazed with cinnamon, vanilla icing, giving way to creamy, Nutella – AKA pastry paradise.
This Nutella Pop Tarts recipe has a few steps, but I promise its so worth it and much easier than you might think. I scaled down my favorite pie crust recipe for the pastry which you form into two discs, refrigerate then roll into 2 large rectangles that you then cut into 9 smaller rectangles. I filled my pop tarts with Nutella and a sprinkling of cinnamon and brown sugar but the filling possibilities are virtually endless, and so will be your cravings. I’m still craving them.
I hope you can enjoy these Homemade Nutella Pop Tarts soon so you can fall in love with them ASAP and start a lifetime tradition of better-than-store-bought homemade pop tarts. Your taste buds and your family will thank you.
