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.

Shrimp Mould (mold) Party Dip / Spread

Shrimp Party Dip/Spread

I'm revisiting this recipe because I have some new photos to share! I made this for Christmas as usual, but this time I didn't chop the ingredients as finely as I normally do. I think I prefer it a bit chunkier! Although, I will admit, I had a little more trouble getting it out of the container. I would definitely recommend using plastic wrap to line your container if you're making this chunkier version. All the ingredients were the same as the original recipe.



Shrimp Mould Party Spread/Dip
Makes about 12 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 can of cooked shrimp, drained (or about 1 cup) and chopped finely
  • 1/4 cup celery finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup green pepper finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions (scallions) finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 packet unflavoured gelatin
  • 8oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 can condensed tomato soup (about 1/2 cup)
Directions
  1. In a small pot, heat up the soup and add the cream cheese. Beat with a whisk until it's smooth.
  2. In the meantime, dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup boiling water. Add to the soup mixture. Add all other ingredients and stir well.
  3. Line a bowl or mould with plastic wrap and pour the mixture in. Chill overnight or until firm. Serve with crackers.

    Hi Jennifer, now this sounds like something I would love. Too bad I didn't have the recipe for the holidays as I think this would have been a hit. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
