No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

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

Magic Cookie Bars
Recipe from Allrecipes.com 
Makes 12 squares

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 1/2 cups flaked coconut
  • 1 1/3 cups sweetened condensed milk
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. Pour the melted butter into a  9 x 13 inch pan (or use 2 square ones like I did). Sprinkle the graham crumbs over the margarine trying to keep them even.
  3. Next place the chopped nuts on top followed by the chocolate and butterscotch chips and finally the coconut. Pour the condensed milk over the top. Try to get it near the edges. They will brown nicely and get a bit chewy (this was my favourite part).
  4. Bake for about 25 minutes or until lightly brown on top. Cool before cutting into squares.
