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. You can add more Nutella or graham crumbs  if you feel the dough is too soft or dry.

Juicy Steakhouse Marinated Steak

I found a nice recipe for steak marinade at Easy Steak Marinades. They have quite a few recipes there, it was hard to decide which one to make this time but finally, I selected one that included ingredients I already had at home.

Here's what it looks like after marinating for 24 hours.

And here it is all cooked. Yum yum! Very tender.

Juicy Steakhouse Marinated Steak

Ingredients
  • 3 strip loin steaks (mine were about 7oz each and I cut them in half)
  • 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce (whatever you like)
  • 2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
  1. Place all ingredients in a Ziploc bag and smush them around. The original recipe said to blend it but who feels like doing extra dishes? Add the steak to the bag and try to get all the pieces coated well. Try to remove the air from the bag while closing the zipper.
  2. Refrigerate for about 24 hours.
  3. I blotted mine with paper towel before cooking them.
  4. You can grill the steak, fry it or get out the George Foreman. I used a grill pan. Cook them for a few minutes per side depending on how you like them done.
  5. The recipe said to boil the remaining marinade for 5 minutes and use it to baste the steak during cooking. I didn't. If I wanted to baste it I would have reserved some of the marinade before putting the steak in, but maybe that's just me.
