Preheat oven to 160 °C
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper
1 x 350 g bottle of Nutella spread
Grease a plate with non-stick spray
Add teaspoonfuls of Nutella on the plate and freeze for 1 hour.
Additional freezing will be required as you are baking the biscuit balls.
The Nutella melts quickly. I just pop back into freezer and continue.
