Nutella Stuffed Heart Shaped Hand Pies

After a rough start to this to 2017...lots of crazy stuff..numerous trips to the hospital and my son hitting the 18 month sleep regression (woo-hoo!) its been super quiet around here..which is lame because I just started this blog...but I will say I have been taking so many photos of our daily activities and new recipes and old recipes that I love and cannot wait to share.

Today, I decided I wanted to get everyone into the Valentine's spirit...it is February now after all...My little guy and I wanted to make a Valentine's treat that was Easy..as in easy enough for him to help me a bit and super tasty! I had a sleeve of leftover pie dough from a pot pie I made last week and a jar of nutella....I thought, how bad can these taste? and OMG....these turned out GOOD! like Holy cow good! Seriously this was the easiest thing ever and would be perfect for a Valentine's day play date or even a little treat for a dinner at home. I'll be making them again with the help of my sleep hating little boy (haha...*waahhhh its true!).

 I definitely wanted to make this recipe, toddler friendly..so I picked a pack of plastic cookie cutters at the Dollar Tree..it included a star, circle, heart and flower....super awesome deal for $1 and the plastic cutters are perfect for toddler hands.

 Just cut them out of the roll out pie dough..butter a pan and lay them down...scoop 1 tbsp of Nutella in the center then use a drop of water around the heart edge..this will help seal down the second heart you lay on top of the first.

 I took a fork and smashed down the edges to seal them..then I used a butter knife to cut 2 small slits in the center. Bake @ 425 for 7-8 minutes. Enjoy.  These are so so good!
