Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F degrees.
Sprinkle a little flour on top of a sheet of parchment paper.
Unfold one sheet of puff pastry on top of the parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the puff pastry sheet into an 11 x 13 inch rectangle.
Spread the Nutella hazelnut spread on top of the puff pastry sheet being careful not to go too close to the edge.
Unfold the second sheet of puff pastry and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out also into an 11 x 13 inch rectangle.
Gently place the second sheet of puff pastry on top of the first sheet of puff pastry that has the Nutella spread. Press gently to seal the two sheets together.
Use a pizza cutter to make 1 inch wide strips. You could get 10-12 strips.
Take one strip of dough and roll it up accordion style with a minimum of four layers. You want a smaller end at the top so the strips taper into a triangle to look like a tree.
Then insert the skewer through the center of the dough. Place each one on a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper. Cover the “stars” of the skewers with aluminum foil. Brush each tree with the beaten egg.
Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.
Remove from the baking tray to cool. Dust with powdered sugar after they’ve cooled slightly.

Notes

Puff Pastry needs to be cold as you're working with it. If it's too warm, the butter in the pastry will melt and won't create the steam necessary for the layers to puff up properly. Return it to the refrigerator if it starts to soften.
