Nutella and the Cronut are two food items that have massive cult followings, so naturally, it made sense for both to come together to form the ultra delicious Nutella Pancake Cone.
As the creator of the Cronut and many other ingenious food dishes, Dominique Ansel whipped up an exclusive treat for the brand. The Nutella Pancake Cone features a flapjack in ice cream cone form, topped with the chocolate hazelnut spread. If you want to get your hands on one of these for free, you'll have to be in Grand Central Station, as the treats will only be given away in honor of Pancake Day on February 17th. The sampling will also be part of an event where pancakes are served with Nutella, alongside a customizable pancake bar.
