Every once and a while, I have a vision of some new dessert. Caramel Nutella Crustella is a scrumptious and easy recipe. It will definitely appear on our holiday table. Although the original recipe, Nutella Crustella, is a staple at the lodge, I figure I can always make it better! If you love pie crust, chocolate, and caramel, you have to make this for your someone special.
