Nothing says "I love you" better than Nutella. Filled with all the deliciousness of a full-scale pie, these hand-held treats are much easier to prepare. Every bite bursts with strawberry jam and Nutella, and an egg wash gives the exterior its golden-brown finish. For a perfectly flaky crust, refrigerate the dough before baking.
