Nutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella, 276g
In Italy this is breakfast, which is why it comes as twenty small pieces rather than a dozen large ones. The construction is the interesting part: a filled biscuit normally softens from the inside within days as water migrates out of the centre, and a fat-based filling has almost none to give, so the shell stays properly crisp right up to the boundary. The window is narrow: a fridge sets the centre hard, and an open pack in a steamy kitchen takes the crunch regardless. Hazelnut is intrinsic to the filling this is named after, so treat the pack as containing nuts.
Nutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella, in brief.
Nutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella is twenty crisp biscuits with a sealed hazelnut and cocoa filling, 276g in the pack, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the small-portion morning biscuit rather than an afternoon one.
Contains hazelnut: hazelnut is intrinsic to the filling this product is named for. Treat this pack as containing nuts and read the full allergen declaration on the current UK pack.
The filling is fat-based rather than water-based, which is why the shell stays crisp instead of going soft from the inside. Keep it cool, dry and out of the fridge; cold sets the centre hard.
That single piece of food engineering explains most of what you notice when you eat one. The shell stays properly crisp right up to the filling rather than turning leathery at the boundary. The filling stays soft at room temperature instead of setting hard, because fat that is liquid at room temperature does not crystallise the way a sugar syrup would. And the whole thing behaves predictably in a lunchbox or a drawer in a way a cream-filled or jam-filled biscuit does not.

The Story Behind Nutella
Nutella is an Italian brand and the pairing of roasted hazelnut with cocoa is a Piedmontese tradition of long standing, known there as gianduja. That is company and regional heritage rather than a statement about where this particular pack of biscuits was made. What is worth knowing commercially is that in Italy a filled biscuit of this sort is understood as a breakfast product rather than an afternoon one, which is why the format is twenty small pieces instead of a dozen large ones.
The ingredient list, the complete allergen advice, any certification marks and the country of origin must therefore all be read off the current UK pack.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.
What You Are Actually Buying
- Count: 20 filled biscuits, the number given on the pack and the number behind every calculation on this page.
- Weight: 276g net across the twenty, which is 13.8g a piece.
- Contains hazelnut: hazelnut is intrinsic to the Nutella filling this product is named for. If there is a nut allergy in the house, this pack is not for you.
- What it is not: not a chocolate-coated biscuit, not a soft cookie, and not a biscuit that wants to be dunked for long. It is a crisp shell around a soft centre.
Getting It Right in the Cup
- Storage: cool, dry and sealed. The crunch is the fragile property here. A filled biscuit left open in a humid kitchen softens from the outside in, which is the opposite of how it would fail from a wet filling.
- Do not refrigerate: the filling sets firm and loses its softness, and condensation on the way back out is the fastest way to ruin a crisp shell.
- Room temperature is the design point: the filling is meant to be soft and the shell crisp at the same time, and that only happens in a normal room.
- Yield: twenty pieces of 13.8g each, worked out from the stated count and the 276g weight rather than read off the pack.
- Best with: breakfast, mid-morning, or a lunchbox. It is a small-portion biscuit and the format says so.

The taste profile
How does it compare
Hazelnut and cocoa are both fat-carried flavours and the pack is sweet, so the drink beside it has one job: cut through fat and sugar without covering the hazelnut. That rules out more drinks than it rules in.
The Morning Pairing
The Dunk, Carefully
Made with this tea
The Morning Coffee Pairing
How to make The Morning Coffee Pairing with Nutella Crunchy Biscuits.
- 2 Nutella Crunchy Biscuits
- 1 strong black Americano or filter coffee
- 200ml hot water
- Make the coffee black and strong. Bitterness, acidity and heat are the three things that cut an oily sweet coating, and a milky coffee has none of them to spare.
- Serve the biscuits at room temperature so the filling is soft and the shell is still crisp.
- Alternate deliberately. The third biscuit is where an uncleared palate shows itself.
- Dunk for two to three seconds only, if at all. There is no coating protecting the shell.
What you'll end up with: The pairing this biscuit was designed around. For tea instead, brew a strong everyday blend four minutes with a splash of milk.
Two Biscuit Affogato
How to make Two Biscuit Affogato with Nutella Crunchy Biscuits.
- 4 Nutella Crunchy Biscuits
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 2 shots hot espresso
- A pinch of salt
- Crush two of the biscuits coarsely and put them in the bottom of the glasses, where they stay crisp longest.
- Scoop the ice cream on top and add a pinch of salt over it.
- Pour the hot espresso over at the table, and serve the two remaining biscuits whole on the side.
What you'll end up with: The espresso does the cutting and the crushed biscuit gives the bottom of the glass something to find. Pour at the table; it goes soft within two minutes.
Frozen Nutella Biscuit Sandwich
How to make Frozen Nutella Biscuit Sandwich with Nutella Crunchy Biscuits.
- 8 Nutella Crunchy Biscuits
- 4 small scoops vanilla ice cream
- A lined tray for the freezer
- Soften the ice cream for five minutes so it spreads without cracking the shells.
- Sandwich a small scoop between two biscuits, pressing straight down rather than at an angle.
- Freeze on a lined tray for thirty minutes, then wrap individually.
- Eat within a day or two. Frozen storage eventually softens the shells through contact with the ice cream.
What you'll end up with: The cold firms the hazelnut filling into something closer to a truffle centre, which is a genuinely different biscuit from the room-temperature one.
Hazelnut Crumb Tart Base
How to make Hazelnut Crumb Tart Base with Nutella Crunchy Biscuits.
- 14 Nutella Crunchy Biscuits, about 193g
- 30g melted butter
- A 20cm loose-bottomed tart tin
- Your usual chilled filling
- Blitz the biscuits, filling and all, to a fine crumb. The filling behaves as part of the fat content, which is why this base needs far less butter than a digestive one.
- Add the melted butter a little at a time and stop as soon as the crumb holds together when squeezed.
- Press firmly up the sides as well as across the base and chill for at least two hours.
- Fill with a chilled filling only; this base is not built for baking.
What you'll end up with: A hazelnut base that needs no added flavouring. Add the butter cautiously; too much and it will never set firm enough to slice.
The Twenty Piece Rotation (with Islands Classic Hot Chocolate Powder, 200g)
How to make The Twenty Piece Rotation with Nutella Crunchy Biscuits.
- 1 pack of 20 Nutella Crunchy Biscuits
- An airtight tin
- Dark hot chocolate powder
- A pinch of salt
- Decant the pack into an airtight tin on the day it is opened. The crunch is the fragile property and a humid kitchen takes it within days.
- Take two at a time.
- Make the hot chocolate dark and unsweetened with a pinch of salt, so the cocoa in the cup does not bury the hazelnut in the biscuit.
- Break a biscuit in half and use the halves as scoops rather than dunking them whole.
What you'll end up with: Ten proper servings instead of one pack gone in two sittings. Tap the second badge to grab a tin of hot chocolate if you do not already have one.

Characterising components shown.
Sourcing & bake. Nutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella, 276g comes from Nutella, an Italian brand, and the pairing of roasted hazelnut with cocoa is a Piedmontese tradition of long standing known there as gianduja. The engineering is the part worth understanding. A filled biscuit is difficult to keep on a shelf, because anything containing water inside a crisp shell will push moisture outwards and turn the biscuit leathery within days. A fat-based filling has very little free water in it, so there is almost nothing to migrate, and the shell stays crisp right up to the boundary while the centre stays soft at room temperature. In Italy a biscuit built this way is understood as a breakfast product, which is why the format is twenty small pieces rather than a dozen large ones.
What's in Nutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella, 276g, and what isn't:
- In: twenty crisp biscuits, each with a sealed pocket of hazelnut and cocoa filling, 276g in the pack.
- Contains hazelnut: hazelnut is intrinsic to the filling this product is named for. Treat the pack as containing nuts and read the full declaration before purchase.
- A short dunk only: two to three seconds. There is no chocolate coating to hold the water off, and the filling softens with heat at the same time as the shell does.
- Packaging: follow the current UK pack and your local-authority guidance; the outer pack and any inner tray or film can take different disposal routes.
