    "content_text": "Nutella Biscuits 20 Pieces: The Breakfast Biscuit, in summary: Twenty small crunchy biscuits, each with a sealed Nutella centre, sized the Italian way for breakfast. Pair them with a strong coffee or a malty tea, dunk for three seconds at most and keep the bag out of the fridge.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nIn Italy a filled biscuit like this counts as breakfast food, which is why the bag is filled with twenty little pieces instead of fewer, bigger biscuits. Treat it that way and the rest falls into place: a couple with the morning coffee, not half a pack with the afternoon tea.\nWhy the shell stays crunchy \nA filling usually spells trouble for a crisp biscuit. Anything wet sealed inside a dry case leaks moisture outwards, and within days the biscuit turns leathery from the middle. Nutella dodges that because it is built on fat, not water, so there is almost nothing in the centre to seep into the case. The shell holds its crunch all the way to the filling, and the fat keeps the centre soft at room temperature.\nThe quiet shell matters for flavour too. It is thin and only lightly flavoured, so what you notice first is roasted, oily hazelnut, with cocoa behind it as depth rather than as the headline. Think of it as a hazelnut biscuit with some chocolate in it, not the other way round, which traces straight back to the gianduja pairing of Piedmont and to Pietro Ferrero's post-war hazelnut paste.\nTwenty pieces and the Italian breakfast \nEach piece works out at about 13.8g, small enough to eat two or three alongside a coffee without it turning into a pudding. That sizing gives the game away: in Italy this style of filled biscuit belongs to the morning rather than the afternoon, and the bag is meant to be dipped into over several breakfasts. Nutella Biscuits arrived in 2019, two years after B-ready had taken the brand into UK biscuits.\nNutella Biscuits also come in a 166g tube, which is the smaller buy. The 20-piece bag is the one for a household that will work through it over a week of breakfasts; the tube suits a lighter appetite or a desk drawer. Whichever you choose, fold an opened bag tightly and keep it somewhere dry, because a steamy kitchen will steal the crunch whatever else you do.\nCoffee, tea and a very short dunk \nCoffee is the natural partner, since roasted hazelnut and roasted coffee share the same toasty register. Brew a strong black filter or make an Americano and let it sit beside the filling. Tea drinkers want an Assam or a robust everyday blend, brewed for four minutes, with only a small splash of milk: enough to round off the tannin without letting the cup go soft against the sugar.\nDunk briefly, if at all. The shell is thin and has no coating to protect it, so it soaks up tea fast while the heat loosens the filling; two or three seconds is the limit. Hot chocolate is a poor match unless it is dark and unsweetened, because cocoa on cocoa with this much sugar buries the hazelnut. And keep the bag out of the fridge, which sets the centre hard.\nThe packs we stock \n\nNutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella, 276g (barcode 8000500366073)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Nutella 20 Pieces - Crunchy Biscuits filled with Nutella, 276g (barcode 8000500366073) says it contains wheat and barley (gluten), milk, soya and nuts (hazelnuts).

Twenty, 276g in total, so each piece weighs roughly 13.8g.\nWhy don't Nutella Biscuits go soft inside? Nutella's centre is made on a base of fat, not water, so it has almost no moisture to pass into the shell.\nHow long can you dunk a Nutella biscuit? Two or three seconds at most. The thin shell soaks up tea quickly and the warm filling softens at the same time.\nWhat allergens do they contain? The published ingredient list for this barcode declares wheat and barley (gluten), milk, soya and hazelnuts. Check the current pack before buying.\nShould the bag go in the fridge? No. Cold sets the filling hard; keep the bag cool, dry and closed instead.\nCurator's note: Two of these with a short black coffee makes a better start to the day than most pastries. Put the bag away before you reach for a third.
