Are you a chocolate lover? Have you had chocolate no bake cookies made with Nutella?

You are in for a treat. No Bake Nutella Chocolate Cookies are hard to beat. They are quick, easy, and delicious. And the best part? You don't even have to turn on the oven to enjoy them!

Chocolate No Bake Nutella Cookies are different from regular baked chocolate cookies. They taste like a combination of cookie and candy and can be addictive, so be forewarned!

Have you experienced Nutella - the delicious chocolate hazelnut spread? It's much more popular in Europe than in the US, but if you are a fan of chocolate, you are going to want to seek it out. You can find it in most well stocked markets near the peanut butter.

Crispy No Bake Nutella Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

3 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Special K or Rice Krispies)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped

Directions

Clear a space on your counter and line it with waxed paper or 1 or 2 silicone mats. This is where you will drop your crispy no bake Nutella cookies to set up.

Place the cereal in a medium-sized mixing bowl and set it aside.

In a small saucepan set over low heat or in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl placed in the microwave and heated on full power for 20 to 30 second increments, melt the chocolate and hazelnut spread.  Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the cereal and stir until the cereal is well coated with chocolate.

Drop mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the waxed paper/silicone mats.  Flatten each mound into rounds with the back of a wet wooden spoon.  Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with hazelnuts, pressing them down gently so they adhere to the cookies. Cool until set.

Makes about 2 dozen Crispy No Bake Nutella Cookies.

Variations

For an even easier cookie, Instead of sprinkling the hazelnuts on top, stir them in with the cereal.
For Rocky Road Nutella Cookies, after you stir in the cereal, let the mixture cool a bit and then stir 1 cup of mini marshmallows into the mixture before dropping onto the waxed paper/silicone mats.
