Nutella granola bespoke no-bakes.

We had SUCH fun with our littles for FHE {family home evening} the other evening and I wanted to share what we made for the treat because it really was pretty scrumptious!

We wanted to make something that was safe and fun for the kiddos to join in with. We have a mini kitchen and so getting everyone in there is simply not possible, so it had to be something that we could do at the table in the dining room. We invented a treat together and now I'm going to share it with you (I had minimum prep to do before everyone could join in!)

Here is the lowdown on what you'll need for this treat:

Nutella granola bespoke no-bakes.

A bag of Ghiradelli chocolate chips (either milk/semi-sweet...whichever is your preference...but that brand is simply the BEST.)

Nutella (a good dollop!)

Butter 1/4 cup

Granola (We used Cascadian Farm Organic Oats & Honey granola) However much you need!

The granola makes them super crunchy rather than chewy, and i'm all about a bit of crunch.

Optional: Raisins/nuts/Mini marshmallows {Hence the "bespoke" part. You decide what fun you add! Tailored to YOU :)}

Melt using a double boiler, the chocolate, nutella and butter together. (this is the part to leave the little ones out of...just do it right before you plan to start the activity)

Put this in a cool bowl when liquid and be sure that no-one touches this when it's placed in front of young ones.

We had the little ones add granola a little at a time, and take turns stirring. They all got to throw handfuls of marshmallows in too, to keep them from whining while the others got to stir. {Yes, we have tantrums in our house over nonsense issues too!!! :) }

I would have liked raisins but hubby hates them, (apparently they are just rotton fruit!? *gasp*) also some crushed nuts might be tasty too.

Just keep an eye on the consistency and make sure it stays a little sticky so it can cool off and remain as a solid.

We poured ours out onto greaseproof paper and smushed it flat and dense (using another sheet of greaseproof and a cake pan to smush it with....is that clear?! Perhaps not. :/ ) Then popped it into the fridge.

By the time you finish your FHE with songs/spiritual thought/lesson/family debate (whatever fun you had planned) etc. said a blessing on the treat it will be chilled and ready to break apart and get stuck in!!

After all, what's Family Home Evening without a treat??? Even more fun when you get to join in and make the treat.

Just make sure Mum doesn't get left to clear up, everyone must get stuck in and help lick the bowl wash the dishes!! ;)
