No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year.

You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

You don't need to measure when you're making kale chips.

Make sure your kale is cut up into bite sized pieces. Remove any thick stems because they will not get crispy before the rest of your kale burns.

Place the kale in single layers on parchment lined baking trays. I sprinkled mine with some salt and nutritional yeast.

Bake in a 250F oven for about 30 minutes. Check on your chips and toss them as needed. When they are dry, take them out. Take a piece out of the oven and eat it. That's the best way to test.

Store the chips in a bowl that is loosely covered with a cloth. I find they get soggy without a bit of air.
