One of my favorite things to do is to have movie nights with my sons and we love to make different snacks for the occasion. As we're all huge Nutella fans, we're always on the lookout for treats that contain the spread. So when this air fryer Nutella toast pies recipe appeared on my TikTok, I knew I had to give it a go. 

Yes, technically it's just Nutella on toast – and as easy and simple to make – but having the little pocket of melted chocolate inside and the fact you can serve them as handheld snacks seriously elevates it. It further proves just how versatile the best air fryers are, too.

Below, I show how to make air fryer Nutella toast pies whether it's for movie night, breakfast, dessert or any time you want a comforting treat.
