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.

Homemade Healthy Granola Bars

These granola bars are yummy! They taste like oatmeal cookies! Maybe they're not super healthy but aren't they healthy-ish?

 You can add other things such as nuts and other dried fruits. I'd love to try dried cranberry and chocolate chip. Maybe next time!

The Dry Mix

All packed down and ready to bake.

Close up of all that goodness.

Fresh from the oven. You'll get a cleaner line if you cut it when it's completely cool, but I couldn't wait!

Homemade Healthy Granola Bars
Makes 16 squares

Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/8 cup flax seeds (whole)
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup liquid honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a 9x13 glass dish with parchment paper.
  2. Mix dry ingredients well in a large bowl. Mix honey, vanilla and melted butter then add to the dry mixture. It will seem very crumbly but once it's baked it will be okay. You may need to get in there with your hands to combine the ingredients well.
  3. Press the mixture into the baking dish using your hands or a spatula. Pack it in good.
  4. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before cutting. If you cut too soon, it will fall apart. This can be stored in the fridge for several days (if it lasts that long).
