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.

Chicken Marinades

Here are a few marinades that you can whip up quickly, toss in a bag with your chicken, and freeze until you're ready to cook. 

 To make these marinades, I lined up a few bowls on the counter and starting putting stuff in them.

 I can’t give you measurements because I didn’t measure anything, but I can tell you what’s in each one.

 I didn’t add oil to any of them but I suppose you could if you want to.

 If any of your marinades seem a bit thick, add a little bit of chicken stock to thin them out.

 If you want to make any of these marinades and cook the chicken the same day or the day after, stir in a little bit of plain yogurt. It helps to tenderise the chicken. I don't know if it would freeze well because I haven't tried it.

Just line the bowls up and start putting things in. I ended up making 7 flavours in the end.

Store them in bags with the flavour written on them. The bag at the top was a second bag of teriyaki which we grilled that day.
