Flakey, light, crispy, chocolate, hazelnut and creamy frosting – what more could you want!? My kids absolutely adored them, specially since they had a creamy indulgent layer of Nutella.
These will definitely been present in the future – I think I might start keeping filo pastry in the freezer for those last-minute nibbles or desserts. As filo pastry is so thin, it does defrost within an hour.

Filo is so versatile and these baskets make great little treats! Instead of chocolate you could use banana slices or even fresh mango!
