This is already a favorite dessert for me. The combination of chocolate, hazelnut and mint is divine. This came from Giada De Laurentis on foodnetwork.com.
16 wonton wrappers
1 egg, beaten to blend
1 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (recommended: Nutella)
Vegetable oil for frying
16 fresh mint leaves
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Granulated sugar, for dredging
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Line baking sheet with plastic wrap. Place 1 wonton wrapper on the work surface. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with egg. Spoon 1 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread into the center of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper diagonally in half over the filling and press the edges of the wrapper to seal. Place the ravioli on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers, egg, and chocolate-hazelnut spread.
Preheat oven to 200°F. Add enough oil to a heavy large frying pan to reach a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil over medium heat to 350°. Working in batches, carefully add the ravioli to the hot oil and cook until they are golden brown, about 45 seconds per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ravioli to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Then transfer the cooked ravioli to another baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven while frying the remaining ravioli. (The fried ravioli can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool them completely, then cover and refrigerate. Before serving, place them on a baking sheet and re-warm in a preheated 375° oven just until they are heated through, about 7 minutes.) Spray the top side of the mint leaves very lightly with nonstick spray. Working with 1 leaf at a time, dredge the coated side of the leaves in sugar to coat lightly. Arrange 2 fried ravioli on each plate. Dust the ravioli with powdered sugar. Garnish with sugared mint leaves and serve.

I still have to try these, especially after seeing your pictures from when you made them. They looked good.
Did they taste Nutella-ish?
Oh Ariana, they were divine. Definitely Nutella-ish, and with the mint leaves... oh man. Do try them and tell me how much you loved them ("What do you love about it?"), 'cause I KNOW you're gonna love them. ;)
