Nutella Peanut Butter Stars

behind the scenes

Nutella and Peanut Butter in Harmony

This is our kind of sandwich! Creamy, rich Nutella between crumbly peanut butter biscuits and decorated simply with icing sugar!

There is nothing that we don’t love about this Christmas bake! You likely already have the ingredients on hand, they taste absolutely delicious, it’s easy to make and gives you all of the festive feels.

It is the perfect Christmas baking project for those cold, dark, December days!

While the flavours themselves might not necessarily be synonymous with Christmas, they are a tried and tested indulgent combination and therefore we think they deserve a place in the Jolly Festive Christmas Biscuit Box!

Plus, they give you the perfect excuse to break out your Christmas cookie cutters and what better way to get little hands involved in the process than stamping out the Christmas shapes! While any shape would work here, we’re rather partial to stars which give us all the festive feels.

Two important things here!

One, do not overbake the biscuits –you want them to snap but not be so hard that when you bite into one you lose the Nutella out of the sides…while we’re not above licking Nutella off our hands, it’s probably best to avoid that with a gift box biscuit!

Two, do not skip the chilling time. There are lots of science-y reasons why this step needs to take place but essentially it’s this step that allows the biscuits to hold their shape as they bake and ensures they sandwich together neatly at the end!

So…happy baking –we can’t wait to see your creations!
