Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent the rolls from sticking.
Prepare the cinnamon rolls: Open the refrigerated cinnamon roll dough and unroll each roll flat. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over each unrolled dough piece for a sweet and spiced base.
Fill with Ferrero Rocher: Sprinkle the chopped Ferrero Rocher chocolates, chocolate chips, and crushed hazelnuts evenly over the buttered dough, pressing them lightly into the surface to ensure they stay in place during rolling and baking.
Roll up and bake: Tightly roll each cinnamon roll back up, then place them in the prepared baking dish spaced evenly. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through.
Top with Nutella: While the rolls are baking, warm the Nutella or hazelnut spread in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until soft and easily spreadable. As soon as the rolls come out of the oven and are warm, generously spread or drizzle the Nutella over the top.
Drizzle with chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzle this melted chocolate over the Nutella-topped rolls for an extra indulgent finish.
Serve: Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for a few minutes to set slightly, then serve warm to enjoy the gooey, rich flavors at their best.

Notes

For best results, use freshly chilled refrigerated dough to maintain shape when rolling.
You can substitute chopped hazelnuts with walnuts or pecans if desired.
Adjust the amount of chocolate chips based on your sweetness preference.
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheat before serving.
To make the rolls extra gooey, add a sprinkle of heavy cream before baking.
