Ingredients:

• Nutella: No explanation here, just get a tub of Nutella! The bigger, the better, you will enjoy having an extra jar of Nutella to eat.
• Sugar: Use less or more. A regular no bake cookie recipe says to combine sugar at 1 to 2 cups but its up to you on this chocolate dessert as Nutella is already sweet.
• Milk: Use whole milk or 2% for a richer taste and thicker feel.
• Quick Oats: You want to use quick oats and not rolled oats because they are smaller and easier to congeal.
• Vanilla Extract: Add for flavor.
• Butter: For desserts like this it is recommended to use margarine sticks or alternatively you can use cream cheese.
• White chocolate chips: These are to be melted and used to coat the cookies.
• Pretzel sticks: Any pretzels of your choice will work but the sticks are easiest to crush up.

Directions:

1. Line square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.

2. Combine sugar, butter, and milk in a medium-sized saucepan on medium heat. You can also mix in a food processor if you prefer.

3. Boil the mixture and stir continuously. Once you have hot water and it starts bubbling, set the timer for 1 minute 30 seconds then remove from heat.

4. Add the vanilla and Nutella and stir until creamy. Slowly stir in the oats and mix at medium speed until the oats are well coated. You can use a large mixing bowl to combine.

5. Spread the oat flour mixture onto a cookie sheet starting at the bottom of the pan with a base layer until even. The pan size is up to you. The smaller the pan, the thicker the cookie bars.

6. Cool for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

7. Enjoy your tasty Nutella no bake bar!

*Cut in squares of no bake cookies and store in a plastic container. Enjoy at room temperature.

Optional Ideas to Try

1. Melt white chocolate chips and spread on top of cookie bar. Cool in the fridge for another 15 minutes.

2. Melt a couple of spoonfuls of Nutella and drizzle on top of white chocolate.

3. Sprinkle crushed pretzels or graham crackers on top.

4. Use coconut oil in place of the sugar and butter mixture.

Notes

When boiling the mixture in the saucepan, it’s very important that you only start the timer when the ingredients come to a rolling boil. If you start it too soon (when the pan starts spitting out baby bubbles) your cookies will not stay together. If boiled too long, your cookies will be dry and crumbly.
