Question, which one is a perfect reason to make no bake cookies?

A: Hot summer months means no stove to keep your house cool.

B: Teach young children how to cook without using the oven, by measuring and mixing.

C: You found out at bedtime you owe treats for school the next day, and you’ve been working all day.

D: All of the above.

People-all of the above.

Add Nutella as letter E, and you should make these RIGHT NOW.

You’re welcome.

No Bake Whole Grain Nutella Drops

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of ground cocoa

1/2 stick of butter

1/2 cup of Nutella

1/2 cup of sugar

dash of salt

1/4 cup of milk

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

1 1/2 cups of old-fashioned oatmeal

1/2 cup of Grape Nuts Cereal

1/4 cup ground/chopped toasted hazelnuts

1 square chocolate almond bark and a tsp. Canola oil melted together for drizzle

Directions:

In a saucepan melt the butter, sugar, cocoa, milk and vanilla. Heat and boil for one minute then remove from heat and stir in Nutella, oatmeal, Grape Nuts and hazelnuts. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop the Nutella mixture in tablespoonfulls on parchment and shape into circles. Let the cookies dry out for 30-40 minutes. Basically they will sit and air dry and harden until they’re able to be handled. Melt the chocolate almond bark with the oil and drizzle all over the cookies using fork tines. Let the drizzle set. Store in an airtight container in between parchment paper. You will make roughly 2 dozen cookies.

Note-if it is very humid in your kitchen, your cookies may not harden, and may need to sit in a low temp oven to dry out.
