Instructions
Prepare the Bread
Trim the crusts from each bread slice.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin.
Add the Filling
Spread about 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly over each flattened bread slice.
Leave a small border around the edges to prevent the filling from leaking.
Roll the Bread
Roll each slice tightly into a log.
Brush the edge with a little melted butter to help seal the roll.
Assemble the Skewers
Cut each roll in half.
Thread 3–4 pieces onto each wooden skewer, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, combine:
Granulated sugar
Ground cinnamon
Mix well.
Brush with Butter
Mix the melted butter with the vanilla extract.
Brush the skewers generously on all sides.
Roll or sprinkle the skewers with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3 minutes.
Air Fry
Lightly grease the air fryer basket.
Arrange the skewers in a single layer.
Air fry at 360°F (182°C) for 4–5 minutes.
Carefully turn the skewers.
Cook for another 4–5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
Make the Chocolate Drizzle
Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Garnish and Serve
Drizzle the warm skewers with melted chocolate.
Finish with:
Powdered sugar
Crushed hazelnuts

Tips for Perfect Nutella Roll Skewers
Use fresh, soft sandwich bread to prevent cracking.
Flatten the bread evenly for tight rolls.
Don’t overfill with Nutella, or it may leak during cooking.
Brush generously with butter for a crisp, golden finish.
Leave space between the pieces on the skewers so hot air can circulate.
Serve immediately for the best texture and gooey center.
Recipe Variations
Peanut Butter Nutella Rolls
Spread peanut butter over the bread before adding Nutella.
Cookies and Cream Rolls
Sprinkle crushed chocolate sandwich cookies over the Nutella before rolling.
Banana Nutella Rolls
Add thin banana slices before rolling the bread.
Strawberry Nutella Rolls
Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam along with the Nutella.
S’mores Roll Skewers
Add mini marshmallows and crushed graham crackers before rolling.
Storage
Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Freezing
Freeze the assembled (uncooked) skewers in a single layer until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.
Cook directly from frozen at 360°F (182°C) for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through.
Reheating
Air Fryer
Reheat at 325°F (163°C) for 2–3 minutes until warm and crisp.
Microwave
Heat for 10–15 seconds for a softer texture, though the bread will lose some crispness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat bread?
Yes. Whole wheat bread works well, but soft sandwich bread rolls more easily and creates a lighter texture.
Can I use another chocolate spread?
Absolutely. Any hazelnut spread or chocolate spread can be used as a substitute for Nutella.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the skewers a few hours in advance, cover them, and refrigerate. Air fry just before serving.
How do I stop the filling from leaking?
Avoid overfilling the rolls, leave a small border around the edges, and roll the bread tightly.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes. Use dairy-free bread, plant-based butter, dairy-free chocolate spread, and dairy-free chocolate chips for the drizzle.
