Nutella Stix-n-Stones*
Ingredients:
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup Nutella
1 cup hazelnuts, toasted and chopped (see instructions)
1 cup cocktail peanuts
2 cups chow mein noodles
1/2 cup dried cranberries
Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. In a bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and peanut butter chips in the microwave on medium power (50 percent) for 2 minutes. Add the Nutella and stir until smooth. Gently fold in the nuts, noodles and cranberries until completely combined. Drop by heaping tablespoons on to the prepared sheet and allow to set for 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
* To toast the hazelnuts - Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Allow the nuts to cool completely before handling. If using hazelnuts with the skin on, rub them together in a kitchen towel after cooling to remove the skins.
