This No-Bake Nutella Cookie in all its scrumptious fudgy glory took as long to prepare as it did to decide to make them – seconds.
Okay, so it was about 1000 seconds, but really, when you do the math, you’ll realize that’s actually no time at all.
I needed Nutella, I needed no-bake, and I needed it now.
I just so happened to be on the phone with Luc when I was expressing myself with a small amount of theatrics this sudden need for a quick dessert that required three things: no oven, little time, and loads of flavor. When all of a sudden it came to her. She and her college roommate had found themselves in this very situation a few short years ago.
It was late, they had a craving and their options were limited. So her roommate, Lynda, did what any hungry dessert loving adventurous alert individual does….she assessed the cupboard situation, noticed they had a jar of Nutella and….googled it. It was then that their prayers were answered.
No-Bake Nutella Cookies. You thought they won the lottery…just like I did when Luc reminded me of this recipe. I mean, we’ve been hearing about these incredible ice-box cookies for years. Heck, we’re still talking about them – for good reason!
Now, here’s the cute part, they had just about everything they needed, however, how many college kids actually keep dark cocoa in their pantry? So, instead, they used a packet of hot cocoa mix and all was well in their world.
Just like my world. Right now. With these chocolate-y hazelnut-y muesli -y mounds of perfection.
Guys, it’s hot out. Who among us has the desire to crank up the oven for a sweet treat when these babies around?
The girls’ recipe called for oatmeal, I used Muesli. With a mix of whole grain oats, sweet and chewy dates, raisins, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, almonds, walnuts and other fun ingredients we’re adding a dose of heart health to our cute little bundles of fun.
So…thank you, Luc! Thank you, Lynda! We love it!!
I hope you will, too, my friends!
Buon Appetito!

I love no bake desserts – and these look awesome, Annie! I’ve never tried Nutella – but I hear some many people are a big fans – so I’m going to get myself a jar next time I go to the store. Looking forward to trying these cookies!.
It is definitely worth a try! Whether you eat it on toast or in these cookies – you are in for a treat, my friend! Enjoy!
These are most definitely the best no-bake cookies ever! I adore nutella (who doesn’t?) and I have all the ingredients to get going on this right away – thanks for the awesome cookie recipe!
I love it!! Enjoy your treat, my dear!! 🙂
This post is just overloaded with the magical words – cookies, Nutella, NO BAKE (!), 1000 seconds! That’s a glorious recipe! I’m only wondering, if you send a few dozens too me right now, would it take 1000 seconds to get them delivered?! 🙂 Lovely work, Annie!
Hahaha! Yes!! It’s worth a shot, anyway!! Thanks, Ben! I appreciate your kind words, my friend! 🙂
These cookies look super awesome, and I love that they’re no-bake!! 🙂
No-bake’s the best! Thanks, Christina!
No bake, Nutella? Can’t get any better! Love these Annie! Pinning of course!
Thanks, Mira!!
Oh, yum!!! I’ve had the regular ones before, but yours sound way better! Thanks for sharing, Annie!
Thanks, Andrea! Nutella mixed with anything is a winner!! 🙂
Oh man, I am so glad I stopped over, Annie! These cookies look amazing. And at just 1,000 seconds, I think I can have a batch made (and all evidence “destroyed) before my wife gets home from work. “What cookies? I don’t see any cookies here!”) Seriously, though, these look awesome! Pinning!
I’m so glad you stopped over, too! And truth is…not only are these cookies quick to make, they’re quick to eat, too! hahaha! I got everybody’s back with this one! Thanks, David!
Wow, could easily have eaten my laptop screen! Definitely making these today – THANKS!
Hahahha! Yessss! Enjoy, my friend! 🙂
These Nutella cookies sound and look divine, Annie! Love the fact they’re no bake too! Great recipe!
Thanks, Jess! Nothin’ like no bake in the summer! 🙂
What a relief that you got a lifeline from Luc and Lynda! These no bake Nutella cookies are just what the doctor ordered! Yum! 🙂
It is scary to think what could have happened had they not rescued me… That was a close one! 🙂
These cookies sound and look amazing!! Aaaaaahhh I can’t cope right now. Seriously – wow! Yum. Nutella and no bake?! I can’t think of anything better! I reeeeeeally need to eat one right now.
Oh boy! You are going to love these, my friend! Enjoy!! 🙂
No bake, cookies and nutella, count me in, this is such a quick perfect treat, totally in love with these bites of deliciousness.
Oh yeah…these need to happen! I mean, you could put Nutella on a piece of cardboard and it’d still be good! Thanks for stopping by, Katalina!
You had me at nutella, Annie! These cookies look incredible! I’ve only made no-bake ones a few times, so you are definitely reminding me to change that asap. Love how easy these cuties are to whip up!
Isn’t it nice to know you can have something so good, so quickly! Thanks, friend!
No bake cookies & that too nutella?!! Love love these!
And boy they hit the spot!! Thanks, Ami!
Haha yes when you get that craving Nutella and no-bakes are the perfect answer! Love the muesli in here! That makes it acceptable for breakfast right? I’d love a few of these right now 🙂
Oh yes! I’m enjoying one for breakfast right now!! Thanks, Kelly!
You had me at Nutella! I could and have eaten that stuff straight out of the jar! It’s almost midnight, and I’m SO craving these right now! Grr…. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow when the grocery store opens 😉
Hmmmm…now you’ve got me thinking…I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten just as much Nutella straight from the jar as I have [it] baked in or spread on something. How many things can you say that about?! Enjoy the cookies!
I just bought a jar of Nutella the other day. Strangest thing because I don’t “do” Nutella. Ever. But now I guess I have a reason for it being on my shelf. Weird. I love the no-bake idea. Thanks.
Now you must “do” Nutella!! Enjoy!! 🙂
No bake AND nutella?! Ok, sign me up!
Done!!!! 🙂
Ummm yes please! You can count me in for anything that includes Nutella :).
You’re in!! Thanks, friend!
Annie! you are killing me here, Nutella, really?? right up my alley! And now you are the reason of my trip to the grocery’s store!
Hahhaha! Yes!! Music to my ears! Enjoy, my friend! This is a fun one!
