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.

Cherry Chia Jam

During the summer, I had a bag of cherries that I had to use up before they went bad. I ended up making cherry chia seed jam. Yum Yum.


Cherry Chia Jam

 Ingredients
  • 2 cups pitted, fresh, sweet cherries (you could probably use frozen). Berries and peaches (without skin) also work.
  • maple syrup to taste
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (or lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Directions
  1. Combine cherries, syrup and water in a medium pot. Start with 1 teaspoon of syrup and taste it. Add more later if needed. You could also try honey for a different flavour.
  2. Simmer over medium heat until the cherries start to break down and the juices thicken a bit. Press some of the cherries with a fork. Don't let it get too thick as the chia will need some juice to soak up.
  3. Stir in vanilla, lime juice and chia seeds.
  4. Allow to cool before storing in a glass jar in the fridge. You'll want to wait several hours before serving so the seeds can work their magic.
  5. This jam should be good for a week in the fridge.
