Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits): This serves as the base for your bites, making them quick and easy to prepare.
• 1 cup Nutella: The creamy, chocolate-hazelnut goodness that pairs perfectly with the warm spices.
• 1 tsp pumpkin spice blend: The essential fall spice mix that brings a cozy, spiced flavor to these bites.
• 1/4 cup melted butter: This gives the bites a rich, golden finish and adds a deliciously crispy exterior.

Variations for Nutella Pumpkin Spice Bites

Want to customize your Nutella Pumpkin Spice Bites? Here are a few ideas:

• Add Salted Caramel: Drizzle a little bit of salted caramel on top for a sweet-salty twist.
• Use Different Nut Butters: If you prefer peanut butter or almond butter, feel free to swap it in place of Nutella for a different flavor.
• Make Them Vegan: Swap the refrigerated biscuit dough with a dairy-free variety and use vegan butter in place of regular butter.
• Stuff with Marshmallow: Add a mini marshmallow to each bite before baking for a gooey surprise inside.
• Top with Chocolate Chips: Add some mini chocolate chips on top of the bites before baking for an extra chocolaty experience.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the bites don’t stick and makes cleanup a breeze.

2. Roll Out the Biscuit Dough

Take your can of refrigerated biscuit dough and gently flatten each biscuit with your hands or a rolling pin to create a small circle. Each biscuit will be the base of your pumpkin spice bite.

3. Add Nutella

Take a teaspoon of Nutella and place it in the center of each dough circle. You can use a spoon to easily scoop out the Nutella and spread it evenly. Be sure not to overfill, as the Nutella may spill out while baking.

4. Fold the Dough

Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the Nutella to create a pocket. Pinch the edges to seal them and form little balls or pockets. Repeat this for all the biscuits, ensuring they’re tightly sealed.

5. Brush with Butter and Add Cinnamon Sugar

Once all the bites are formed, brush them with melted butter using a pastry brush. This will give them that golden, crispy finish. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the top of each bite for extra flavor.

6. Bake the Nutella Pumpkin Spice Bites

Place your bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. The smell that fills your kitchen as they bake is absolutely divine!

7. Optional Toppings

Once baked, you can top your bites with crushed nuts for some added crunch, or drizzle with more Nutella if you want an extra layer of richness.
