I see a lot of people now using Nutella in their recipes and I was thinking.. wouldn’t Nutella taste delicious in a no bake? So I dove right in, kind of making it up as I went along. OK not making it up but changing the recipe I’ve been using for No Bakes. I didn’t want to replace the peanut butter because I LOVE peanut butter. But i didn’t want the flavor of Nutella and the flavor of the peanut butter to completely take over. Plus, my recipe includes less butter than the regular recipe. I don’t like that much butter in the mix and it doesn’t taste any different to me. If you look closely at the picture, mine look a little dried out. I ran out of vanilla extract and didn’t realize it until I needed it. Yeah, big sad face. It didn’t mess anything up though other than them being a little dry. Still delicious! Here is the recipe.
No Bakes with Nutella
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup nutella
- 3 to 3 1/2 cups dry quick-cooking oats
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Add the first 4 ingredients into a 4 quart sauce pain
- Bring to a boil and hold for 1 minute
- Remove from heat
- Stir in peanut butter and nutella until melted
- Stir in oats and vanilla and drop by tablespoons onto wax paper or oiled cookie sheet
- Let cool until set
