I remember when I was a young girl, coming home from school and making No Bake Cookies. I always thought that they were the best treat ever! I used to mix in all kinds of things like coconut, nuts, raisins, etc. whatever my mom had in the cupboard at the time. But not once, ever, did I think to put in Nutella! Well, I saw this idea out there somewhere in blog land and had to give it a try. I was pleasantly pleased with this add-in item! The hazelnut flavor is kind of subtle, but it is there. My husband thinks that these are good for you with the oatmeal and all and I just let him think that!
This is a great treat for summer because you do not have to heat up your oven. It is also a great beginning recipe for kids to make and learn in the kitchen. So does anyone out there want to make Nutella No Bake Cookies?
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups quick rolled oats
Optional add-ins: nuts, raisins, coconut, etc.
(You can also add 1/2 cup peanut butter in place of the Nutella for another great taste!)
In medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, cocoa and milk. Cook over medium heat to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in Nutella and vanilla. Stir until Nutella is melted. Stir in the oats (and any other add-ins that you like) and quickly drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Allow to harden and enjoy!
Oh so Good!
I found these gift boxes on clearance at one of the craft stores and look at how fun they make a simple cookie look!
Tie it up with some ribbon and this is a great gift for Father’s Day!
