Italian Recipes

A lot of people probably have created these tartlets in the past using jam or preserves as a filling but here is a recipe on how to make them with Nutella for World Nutella Day this year. These little tartlets are seriously effortless to place together, and are just the right size for a tasty snack. Just use a teaspoon of Nutella for the filling of the tartlets, but you may use slightly more if you prefer. But teaspoonful was just adequate to give the tartlets a good surprise chocolate center.
