12 wafer cigar rolls or crisp rolled wafer cookies
3/4 cup chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
8 oz milk chocolate, chopped
1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

directions

Fill a piping bag with the chocolate hazelnut spread.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Dip each filled wafer roll into the melted chocolate to fully coat. Use a fork to lift each one and let the excess chocolate drip off.

Optionally, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for decoration before chilling.

FAQs

How long do Chocolate Hazelnut Wafer Rolls last?

Can I make these in advance?

Yes, they can be made a day or two ahead and stored until ready to serve.
