Ingredients

• 1 cup Nutella
• 1 cup crushed graham crackers (or chocolate cookies)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)
• 1/2 cup melted chocolate (for coating, optional)
• Chopped nuts or sprinkles (for garnish, optional)

Timing

Making Nutella Truffles takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 30 minutes for chilling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Truffle Mixture

1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Step 2: Chill the Mixture

1. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up the mixture, making it easier to roll into balls.

Step 3: Form the Truffles

1. Roll into Balls: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter).

Step 4: Coat the Truffles

1. Cocoa Coating: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder until fully coated. Alternatively, you can dip them in melted chocolate for a richer flavor. If using melted chocolate, place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
2. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles on top of the melted chocolate before it hardens.

Step 5: Serve

1. Chill Again: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
2. Enjoy: Serve the Nutella truffles chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy these delightful treats!
