No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself. You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs. No Bake Nutella Balls Makes about 50 balls Adapted from The Carefree Kitchen Ingredients For the filling 1/2 cup of butter, softened 1 1/4 cup Nutella 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 2 cups icing sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla For the coating 1 1/2 cups meting chocolate (I used milk) Directions Combine all filling ingredients until a dough forms.

Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce
Makes 1 -2 servings.

Ingredients

6oz grilling steak
2 cloves minced garlic
juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
red pepper flakes to taste

Directions

Slice steak in 1/4" strips.
Combine garlic, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Add steak and mix. Set aside on the counter for about 20 minutes.
Mix remaining ingredients together and set aside.
You can put the steak strips on skewers if you wish, but I found it easier just to leave them as they were. Preheat a nonstick pan over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak strips. You may have to do it in batches.
Cook for 1-2 minutes then flip. Cook for another minute or two then remove from the pan. Let rest for a few minutes then serve with peanut dipping sauce.

Tip: This recipe would also work with chicken breast.
