Peanut Nutella Bites

These are the easiest little gems to whip up quick for people coming over or if you just fancy a lil something sweet and chocolatey! 

I've seen similar things labelled as "no-bake cookies" before but me and a friend concluded that they're more like uncooked flapjack bites and not really cookies in the slightest.

Although they do have a similar feel to eating cookie dough straight out the bowl, without the feeling of naughtiness as thats just the way they're meant to be eaten!

We added salted peanuts to the mix for extra crunch and a little bit of salty to combat the sweet.

 Although not exactly the most photogenic of things...

If these are for you, you'll need:
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup Nutella hazelnut spread
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup salted peanuts

All set? Get cookin'

• In a medium, melt the butter over medium to low heat. 
• Add the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder and mix until combined. 
• Stir in the peanut butter and Nutella until melted, followed by the oats and peanuts.
• Continue mixing until all of the ingredients are incorporated. 
• Reduce heat to very low.

• Now, either use a use a spring-form ice cream scoop or just a tablespoon,  drop them onto a lined cookie sheet and shape into balls.

• Chill for for thirty minutes in the fridge until firm. 

Ta Dah!
