Method

  1. Cook the croissants according to the pack instructions; leave to cool.
  2. Mix the icing sugar, cocoa powder and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl until well-combined into a thick icing. Dip the top of each croissant into the icing, then sprinkle with the hazelnuts and set aside on a tray to set.
  3. When the icing is firm, warm the chocolate hazelnut spread in a small saucepan until warmed and loose. Fill a small piping bag fitted with a small round nozzle with the spread. Using a small knife, cut a cross into the back of the croissant (midway down) then insert the nozzle and pipe a quarter of the mixture into each one. Enjoy while still warm.
