If you’re sunburn-prone, object to cronut mania or simply a working stiff like most of us on Monday mornings, you probably didn’t stand in line for free Nutella Cronut Holes this afternoon.
Unfortunately, this is a one-day-only treat — cronut inventor Dominique Ansel personally bestowed 2,000 communion pastries on the faithful few at the Broadway Pedestrian Plaza on Monday afternoon. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with the world’s favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Get in on the celebration of Nutella’s 50th anniversary this week with one of these treats.
