I made these with the help of the kids. They’re really easy to make as everything goes in the mixer and the kids helped roll up the dough for the biscuits. The kids loved spreading the nutella on and loved eating the finished results even more. I’ll definitely be making these again, although I would make them a bit smaller as they seemed a bit too big for the kids (although they didn’t think so :)).
