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.

Makes about 50 balls

Ingredients

For the filling

• 1/2 cup of butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cup Nutella
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 2 cups icing sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the coating

• 1 1/2 cups meting chocolate (I used milk)

Directions

Combine all filling ingredients until a dough forms. You can add more Nutella or graham crumbs if you feel the dough is too soft or dry. The dough should hold its shape once rolled. 

Roll teaspoon size balls and place in a single layer in the freezer for 30 minutes. 

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or bowl over a simmering pot of water. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate. 

Remove from the heat keeping the bowl on top of the hot water so the chocolate stays warm. 

Use a fork to dip the Nutella balls, one at a time into the melted chocolate. Tap off any excess chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet to dry. If you want to add sprinkles, be sure to do it quickly before the chocolate dries. 

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They can also be refrigerated or frozen.
