Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Spatula
- Baking Sheet
- Measuring Cups
- Refrigerator
- Microwave-safe Bowl
- Oven
Ingredients
- 3 cups Rice Krispies for crunch and texture
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
- 1 cup Nutella creamy hazelnut spread
- 1 cup sliced almonds lightly salted and toasted
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the sliced almonds on a baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Krispies, chocolate chips, toasted sliced almonds, and mini marshmallows. Stir gently to mix evenly.
- Warm the Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Stir well.
- Pour the melted Nutella over the dry mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together until well coated.
- Form small mounds of the mixture using your hands or a cookie scoop. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until firm and set.
Notes
- Toast the almonds well for maximum flavor; you can substitute with walnuts or pecans.
- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet and salty contrast.
- Reduce Nutella slightly for a crunchier cookie texture.
- Try seasonal variations like peppermint extract in winter or toasted coconut in summer.
