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.

Chocolate Caramel Sauce

Finally, after trying 3 times I managed to make a caramel sauce that's thick like it should be! You just have to get the timing right on the sugar so it doesn't burn and become bitter.


Chocolate Caramel Sauce
Makes about 1/2 cup (I didn't measure as usual)

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup half & half cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
Directions
  1. Place a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium low heat and add the sugar spreading it evenly over the bottom of the pot.
  2. Once you see the sugar starting to melt along the edges, watch it carefully. You can start swirling it around every now and then. When the sugar melts completely and starts bubbling remove it from the heat. Don't let it get too dark because that means it's burnt and it will taste terrible. Really REALLY pay attention to the colour. A light golden colour is perfect.
  3. Now, as soon as you remove the pot from the heat whisk in the butter. Once the butter is melted and stirred in, slowly add the cream whisking the entire time. Be careful here and don't put your face close to the pot, it will bubble up. That's why it's important to use a large pot. Finally whisk in the cocoa until well combined.
  4. That's it. Now let it cool and it will become thick!
