I'm allergic to eggs but LOVe cream cheese so I omited the yolk and added a little water and vanilla with the cheese. These were so so so so so good though! I might make them and let the kids try them too heh. I made these today - mine didn’t look as pretty.

Even my picky son enjoyed them!! I'm cooking-impaired (a nice way of saying we had to fend for ourselves when I was a kid!) and so finding simple recipes really appeals to me. I'm a better cook now than I was 10 yrs ago (thankfully) but will add a note to others like me: make sure the pie crusts are at room temp or you may end up with dough in pieces :P Just speaking from experience! Having never used pre-made pie crusts, I didn't know that little piece of advice. My first batch looked like a patchwork quilt! Very good but rather funny looking. Heh.

They were good warm, and still tasty cooled. I made them in batches of 4 and the first batch just had a little sugar sprinkled on them. My 4YO assisted me with the second batch and there was significantly more sugar sprinkled (dumped) on these, and surprisingly, I think they were better that way. Definitely a winner!

First, Super Target totally let me down and didn't have any pie crust so we used puff-pastry instead. Then we also decided to try a couple of variations as well. We cut the pastry into small squares (kitchen scissors - the tool of the lazy!) and put a small spoonful of Nutella on one square (note: go easy on the Nutella, it's VERY rich and it doesn't take very much), ran a wet finger around the edge and then topped with another square. We squeezed the edges together and then marked them with a fork - seemed to work; we didn't have any leakage. We made a couple with peanut butter added in and several with a small spoonful of caramel sauce (perhaps caramel candy would work as well and be a little less messy? Not sure, but this tasted just fine!). I didn't vent the top since the Nutella really doesn't have anything to steam. We baked for 10 minutes until all puffed and golden brown. Verdict? The peanut butter ones were the least favorite. If we did it again I might mix in some powdered sugar as you do when making home-made Reeses cups. The plain Nutella ones were very good, but the hands down favorite were those with caramel. We made our squares about two-bite sized which was just about right for a really rich desert. <strong>Chris says: Wow, Megan I am impressed at the sacrifices you made for the internet ;-) Also, mmmmmmmmm.</strong> I told my Children the internet said we HAD to try making these with Nutella and they, being terribly selfless, agreed to be assistant bakers and taste-testers.
