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.

Slow Cooker (crock-pot) Pot Roast

This dish is very simple and quick to prepare. It's my favourite Slow Cooker recipe ever!


(sometimes I add potatoes)

Slow Cooker (crock-pot) Pot Roast
Makes 6-8 servings

Ingredients
  • 4-5 lb top sirloin roast (or whatever you like)
  • 1 teaspoon each garlic powder, paprika, dry oregano, salt & pepper
  • 1 can of mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 cups baby (or sliced) carrots
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 packet of onion soup mix
  • 1 cup water
Directions
  1. Rub the roast with the spice mix then in a frying pan, brown your roast on all sides.
  2. Place into the slow cooker. Top with everything else
  3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until it falls apart.
  4. It will release plenty of juice to make your gravy out of.
Tip: I serve mine with the juices as they are, but if you want to make a gravy, transfer the juices to a pot and bring to a simmer on the stove. Add a tablespoon of flour to some cold water and stir it well to remove lumps, then add to the simmering pot and cook until it thickens. You may need more flour depending on the amount of juice you have in the pot.
