Chocolate Almond Spirals Recipes

Steps:

• Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch by 14-inch (30 cm by 35 cm) rectangle.
• Use a spatula to spread the chocolate hazelnut spread over half of the pastry. Fold other half of the pastry over the chocolate spread.
• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
• Slice lengthwise into twelve ½-inch (1 cm) wide strips.
• Hold the top of a strip with one hand and use your other hand to twist. Once the twist goes all the way up the strip, roll into a tight spiral. Repeat with the rest of the strips.
