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 Breadcrumbs

If you're like me, you throw away a lot of bread. I even freeze it only to throw it out later anyway. So I decided to make breadcrumbs. I'm not sure if white bread would work well (since it's so soft) unless you left the bag open for a day or two to let it dry out a bit.


Homemade Breadcrumbs
Ingredients
  • Day old bread (I used 3 whole wheat flat breads from my freezer, defrosted)
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F.
  2. Put the bread in a food processor (but don't over fill it) and pulse until crumbly. There will be larger chunks but don't worry at this point.
  3. Place in a thin layer of crumbs on a baking sheet (or two) and bake stirring as it browns. Bake until it gets crispy but not burnt. I didn't time it. Oops!
  4. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Take the crumbs for another ride in the food processor to make them as fine or course as you like. Season with herbs, spices or parmesan cheese if desired.
  5. I left mine plain and stored them in the freezer.
