Ingredients

1 can refrigerated crescent rolls 8 ounces
⅓ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
¼ cup mini chocolate chips
Flour, for dusting optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured or parchment-lined work surface, roll out the crescent dough so that the perforated lines blend together and it measures about 15 x 8 inches.
Spread the dough with the chocolate hazelnut spread, then sprinkle evenly with the mini chocolate chips.
Starting with a long end of the dough sheet, tightly roll up the dough into a log. With the seam side down, cut the log into 2½-inch sections so that you have 6 smaller logs.
Cut each of these logs in half lengthwise, then turn each half so that the layers are facedown on the work surface. Cut each section in half lengthwise again for 24 pieces total.
Stretch each piece to about 4 inches and tie into a small knot. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the babkas start to crisp and turn golden brown on top.

Notes

These bites can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy at room temperature or reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or in the microwave for 15 seconds each.
