Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while whisking until smooth.
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
Cook the Crepes
Heat a lightly buttered non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan.
Swirl to coat the bottom evenly.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
Flip and cook for another 30–45 seconds.

Allow the crepes to cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine:
Chocolate hazelnut spread
Chocolate chips
Crushed chocolate cookies
Crispy rice cereal
Chopped hazelnuts
Mini marshmallows (optional)
Mix gently until evenly combined.
Fill the Crepes
Lay one crepe flat on a clean surface.
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the chocolate mixture across the lower third of the crepe.
Fold the sides inward.
Roll tightly into a neat log.
Repeat with the remaining crepes.
Brush with Butter
Brush each crepe roll lightly with melted butter.
This helps achieve a beautifully crisp, golden exterior.

Avoid overfilling to prevent the rolls from opening during cooking.
Cook in batches if needed for even air circulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use store-bought crepes?

Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Assemble the crepe rolls up to 24 hours in advance, refrigerate them, and air fry just before serving.
Can I use dark chocolate?
Yes. Dark chocolate adds a richer, less sweet flavor that pairs beautifully with the crunchy filling.
Why are my crepes tearing?
Crepes can tear if they are overcooked or too thin. Cook them just until set and handle them gently while rolling.
Can I make these nut-free?
Yes. Simply omit the hazelnuts and use a nut-free chocolate spread if needed.
