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.

That looks like such a fun project.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to know how to make your own butter, just in case of emergencies! My mom would make butter from fresh (raw) cream - back when buying/selling raw milk was legal - by shaking it in a glass jar. Yeah, it takes a LOT longer than using a mixer but it works. Eventually. :)
ReplyDeleteI've made butter before when I was a child but haven't made it since. Homemade butter is so much better than store bought so it's nice to have that little indulgence every once in awhile. Great SRC choice!
ReplyDeleteBet the homemade butter was such a treat. I would love to try it and maybe add some herbs to it.. yum.
ReplyDeleteI agree - making homemade butter is more fun than practical, but fun it definitely is. And it's a great way to experiment with flavors, too, since you have total control over the ingredients. Great job trying something new!
ReplyDeleteNothing taste as good as homemade butter, and this looks so good I can almost taste it. This is a great recipe choice for the SRC.
ReplyDeleteHave a fun week!

I remember making butter as part of some science projects! Brings back the memories. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comments on my blog and my butter making skills. I've played around with my butter by adding herbs from time to time, but really, I like it just plain, with a touch of salt. Just one caution, if using it for baking, unless you 'wash' it really well, and expel most of the liquid, it really doesn't work that well. But it sure tastes good on some homemade bread or toast.
ReplyDeleteHuh, I never would have thought of making butter either. SRC is all about doing something different.
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting you through SRC this month. I enjoyed making your muffins, they were delicious.
