Kid friendly recipe - Mini Nutella Croissants

I can't gush enough about how versatile puff pastry is.  I've used it to make curry puffs, nian gou puffs, cinnamon and banana puffs; and now these mini nutella croissants/rolled puffs. 

These store bought, frozen puff pastry is super convenient.  Just make your desired filling, spread it on the pastry, roll em up and bake.  These little yummy croissants make a tasty snack or light lunch for the family. 

This recipe is also kid friendly.  I got my son to do almost the entire preparation and it was a fun bonding activity for mother and son.  The prep is easy and practically mess free.  He's been asking for more baking activities since then so I've been on the lookout for more of such simple recipes :)
