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.

One Bowl Maple Walnut Brownies

I really don't like washing dishes - do you? These brownies are easy and I since I'm on vacation from work this week, it was easy to eat too many of them. Usually I bring leftovers to work to get rid of them. My co-workers LOVE treats.

Since Valentine's Day is coming up, you could use a cookie cutter to make heart shaped brownies for your Valentine, or bake the mixture in a heart shaped muffin pan if you have one. 

You could use different types of chocolate or nuts in these, or replace the maple extract with vanilla or other extracts.

One Bowl Maple Walnut Brownies
Makes 16 squares

Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and spray/flour an 8x8 inch pan.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the butter and chocolate chips for about 45 seconds, or until you can stir them together and the chocolate is melted. 
  3. Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture until well combined, followed by the eggs and maple extract. I used a rubber spatula to mix everything. 
  4. Now, add the cocoa and flour and stir just until combined. Gently stir in the nuts and chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. 
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. 
  7. Cool completely before slicing into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container. If you leave them sitting out they will get dry around the edges.
