No-Bake Nutella Cookies

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!
