These Nutella Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy Nutella, crunchy graham crackers, and a hint of vanilla. Rolled in cocoa powder or dipped in melted chocolate, they make the perfect bite-sized dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 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

Coating and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate (for coating, optional)
  • Chopped nuts or sprinkles (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Truffle Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the Nutella, crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips (if using), and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  2. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. This step firms up the mixture to make it easier to handle when forming balls.
  3. Form the Truffles: Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
  4. Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in cocoa powder to fully coat them. Alternatively, dip the truffles in melted chocolate for a richer flavor, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using melted chocolate, you may garnish with chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
  5. Serve: Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 15 minutes to set the coating. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your delicious Nutella truffles.

Notes

  • For a richer coating, dip truffles in melted chocolate instead of rolling in cocoa powder.
  • Use chocolate cookies in place of graham crackers for a more chocolate-forward flavor.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Mini chocolate chips add a delightful texture but can be omitted for a smoother truffle.
  • Garnish with nuts or sprinkles to add texture and decorative appeal.
