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.

Mini Greek Pizza Muffins

Pizza muffins are a great on the go lunch option!

Hi! Last week we visited the new Ripley's Aquarium here in Toronto. It was a field trip with my 6 year old's class and I volunteered to go. It was fun!

 Anyway, I had to think of something to pack for lunch. Peanut butter is what I normally go with, because it doesn't need to be refrigerated, but since we were going with school, it had to be nut-free. I made Wicked-Good Pizza Muffins for a field trip in the past, so decided to go that route again, only this time I used feta and olives.

 I grated the onion and minced the pepper so I could skip the frying step in the original recipe. I don't have time to piddle around in the kitchen these days and It was getting late. The only bad thing about these, is that they also taste good when they're cold. It's really easy to eat them and lose count of how many you've had. They're that good!

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1/2 a red bell pepper, minced

  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and spray 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray.
