No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year.

Iced Mocha

I was too lazy to walk to the coffee shop to get something so I came up with this iced mocha drink. I love coffee and I love chocolate. YUM!



Iced Mocha
Makes 1 drink

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 1 heaping teaspoon instant coffee granules
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (vegan if desired)
  • ice cubes
  • 2% milk (or dairy-free milk for vegan)
Directions
  1. Dissolve coffee in water and set aside.
  2. In a large glass, add vanilla and chocolate syrup. Fill the glass a little over half way with ice cubes. Pour in the coffee and give it a good stir.
  3. Top up the glass with cold milk (or if you're naughty, you can use cream). Stir it again.
  4. You can adjust the chocolate syrup to taste. This is just right for me but you may like it a little sweeter.
Tips:
  • If you want to get fancy, top it off with whipped cream and chocolate syrup drizzle.
