Nutella Truffles

Aren’t those so pretty?!?!?

These Nutella truffles happened by accident. I was trying to come up with a Nutella Chex mix snack, but my first attempt was a TOTAL disaster. Well, that’s what I thought at first. I left my disaster to sit on the counter while I continued to play with my recipe, which I finally figured out.

After a while, it was finally time to do the dishes and I noticed the mixture had hardened and so I was dreading the clean up. Who doesn’t, right? While I was starting to scrape it out of the bowl, I realized that it was PERFECT TRUFFLE CONSISTENCY. That’s right, my HUGE mistake, was going to be a truffle. Could all the stars be aligning just right? Nutella truffles!

      Yes, they did. I kept them out on the counter for a party and they were fine. A bit soft, but held their shape nicely. You could keep them in the fridge until ready to serve to keep them really firm.
