Raspberry Nutella Crescents and a Valentine’s Day Making Party

The hubby was out of town this past weekend for work and I used the opportunity to a) throw a party and b) have some girl time with our 12-year old niece, Miss M. I had her over for the weekend for some alone time with Aunt Z!! We had a great time together despite all the One Direction and Katy Perry songs that are now stuck in my head (Story of my Life arghhhh!!!). Of course some baking had to be on the agenda (hello raspberry nutella crescents) as well as shopping, that’s why I’m the cool Aunt Z? (Sorry but not sorry for all the sugar overload!)
On Saturday, I had a few friends over for a Valentine’s Day making and baking party. As I mentioned earlier this week (you have to check out these pink velvet cupcakes if you haven’t already!!), my philosophy on Valentine’s Day is that it’s just another day to celebrate the loved ones in your life. And of course add in some pink and red and all things cute. Thanks to Pillsbury, I organized a baking party for a few of my close girlfriends and Miss M helped me host.
Since we were going to be baking, I only had a few appetizers ready when people arrived. I whipped up a batch of these buffalo chicken dip bites for the party and they were the first to go. Those things are addicting. I also made these Raspberry Nutella Crescents for folks. They came about mainly because of these nutella stuffed chocolate chip cookies, as I had a half jar of nutella staring at me all week and I had to use it in something before it ended up on my hips. So I slathered lots of nutella on a crescent triangle and topped with Miss M’s favorite berries (“Raspberries and hazelnut go great together Aunt Z, let’s try it”). And the girl is right.
These raspberry nutella crescents are simply delicious. Wrapped in the flaky buttery crescents we all love and they are oozing with hazelnut goodness (from now on this should be the official name for nutella!).
Once we all gathered and caught up, we got to baking!! First we made these Sweetheart Cinnamon Rolls. Aren’t they so cute? They will be perfect for your Valentine’s day breakfast or brunch!! You can find the recipe over here on Pillsbury. The instructions are so easy but between six intelligent grown women and 1 child we were unable to unroll the rolls as directed so we improvised and made our own heart shapes. They turned out great I think and of course tasted amazing!!! Good thing I had two batches in the works π
The most fun part of the party was making these easy Valentine Cookie Pops. What a great interactive activity for kids and adults. We made the first batch of cookies as directed by the recipe but decided to cut them out as hearts. Miss M had the decoration table stacked (it was important that this was her project) and styled with lots of pink and red coordinates including M&Ms, sprinkles and heart-shaped conversation hearts.
Thank you Pillsbury for making this afternoon fun! If you are hosting a Valentine’s Day party for you kids or girlfriends, be sure to try these easy recipes shared today π

That looks like such a fun party, Zainab … wish I could have come! There’s little more tempting than a freshly baked croissant, and these look divine with the chocolate and raspberries. I wonder how easy croissants are to make from scratch? You’ve got me thinking now!

These crescents are addicting my friends. Sorry about your breakfast…I do that sometimes and I end up getting food from the cafeteria which I dislike. I wish I could say these travel wel but they didn’t make it past an hour out of the oven :O

What a fun girls day! Everything turned out great. I will have to try your raspberry Nutella crescents because you know how much I love Nutella!
Thanks Tonia!! I figured you will love these. Hope you have a great weekend!
First off, I am obsessed with your blog name!! I love it! These crescents look amazing. Raspberry and nutella is a taste-combo made in heaven!
Liz, thank you!! Lots of people had no idea what the Blahnik was referring to so I had to do a blog post about it. I’m glad you do π I can already see we have lots in common! Heading over now to check out your blog!!
Umm… can I come to your next Valentine’s day making party?! This looks like so much fun! I love the cinnamon rolls and the Valentine’s day cookie pops! You’re such a fun aunt! Now these nutella crescents?! Holy hannah… do those sound delicious! Definitely trying and definitely pinning! Amazing Zainab!
Of course you can come to the next party!! In fact the next time we see, I think it is required we have a baking party π
It is like you read my mind…or maybe I should say my stomach…these look amazing, can’t wait to try it for myself! Would you consider this more a breakfast item or dessert? Ah heck, why not both, right? How do you think it would work if I used seedless raspberry jam instead of fresh raspberries? Thanks again!
Thanks Sarah! It will work great for breakfast, brunch or dessert. Worked for all for me π And also, I think it will work with raspberry jam. Let me know if you try it!!
My kids are on a Nutella kick! Would you link this to Friday Favorites if you get a chance at http://imnotatrophywife.com laura
