Instructions
- Heat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for optimal pastry crisping.
- Slice puff pastry into uniform small squares, ensuring consistent size for even cooking.
- Position a generous dollop of Nutella precisely in the center of each pastry square.

- Carefully place pouches in air fryer basket, maintaining space between each for proper circulation.
- Cook for 6-8 minutes, monitoring color transformation to rich golden brown with crispy exterior.

Notes

- Experiment with different fillings like fruit preserves or chocolate chips for variety.
