Step-by-Step Preparation Guide

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Biscuits: Open the package of Grands Biscuits and separate the 8 biscuits. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to create a disk. This step is essential for accommodating the Nutella filling.
3. Add the Nutella: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each flattened biscuit. Carefully pinch the edges of the biscuit dough together to seal, then gently roll them into balls to ensure the Nutella is securely enclosed.
4. Bake the Churro Bombs: Place the Nutella-filled biscuit balls on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion. Bake in the preheated oven for 17-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked through.
5. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar: While the churro bombs are baking, melt the butter in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Once the churro bombs are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. While they are still warm, roll each one in the melted butter, followed by the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve these Nutella Churro Bombs warm for the best experience, or at room temperature. They are delicious either way!

Tips for Making Perfect Churro Bombs

• Seal the Dough Properly: Make sure to seal the biscuit dough around the Nutella tightly to prevent any of the filling from leaking out during baking.
• Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh Nutella, and make sure your biscuits are not expired.
• Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on the churro bombs while they bake to prevent them from becoming too dark or dry. They should be golden brown, not deep brown.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overfilling with Nutella: Too much filling can cause the dough to break and the Nutella to leak out.
• Skipping the Butter Coating: The butter helps the cinnamon-sugar mixture stick to the churro bombs and gives them their iconic churro-like flavor.
• Not Preheating the Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 375°F before baking, or the churro bombs may not cook evenly.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
• Small bowls for melted butter and cinnamon sugar mixture
• Spoon or small spatula for spreading Nutella
• Rolling pin (optional)

Variations and Swaps

• Different Fillings: Swap Nutella for peanut butter, jam, or even marshmallow fluff for a unique twist.
• Add Toppings: After coating with cinnamon sugar, drizzle with chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
• Spice It Up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a spicy-sweet kick.

How to Store Nutella Churro Bombs

To keep these treats fresh, store them loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you need to store them for longer, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness before serving.
