No Bake Nutella Cracker Bites are a phenomenal salty-sweet holiday treat that is whipped up in just a few minutes and is perfect during the holidays when you are stressed on the run. Grab the kiddos and everyone can pitch in to this simple and easy dessert.
I hope you’re ready for a super simple no-bake dessert just like our Nutella Chex Mix Bites. This recipe is perfect for that last minute “oh man, I need to bring something to this event” type of treat.
🍩 Ingredients
You need a few ingredients to make these cracker bites. They are so tasty you won’t believe what goes into it.
Crackers: I recommend using Keebler Club Crackers in the mini size. They are perfect bite-sized treats. YUM!
Nutella: There is nothing more delicious than biting into one of these cracker bites and getting a mouthful of Nutella. If you haven’t ever made your own before, make sure to give it a try as it’s so simple!
Chocolate: Use a good quality melting chocolate. If you use chocolate chips they won’t set up as well, so melting chocolate is the best way to go.
📌 Instructions
I honestly can’t believe how simple these are to make.
Step One: Grab a box of Keebler’s Mini Club Crackers. These crackers are small, and I like using them because the regular sized ones are too large after they are dipped in chocolate. The minis are just the right size for a sweet treat.
Step Two: Use a butter knife to spread a small amount of Nutella on the cracker and sandwich a second cracker on top of the first one. Be careful not to press them too hard together or they may break.
Don’t worry if they do, as you’re going to dip this in melted chocolate and no one will see it. This batch made 36 cracker bites.
Step Three: Melt chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave. I prefer the double boiler method. The chocolate melts evenly and is much smoother.
Step Four: Once the chocolate has melted, dip each cracker bite to coat them and place them on wax paper.
They will harden within a minute, but this may vary depending on the temperature and humidity.
Note: If you want some sprinkles, make sure to add them before the chocolate shell has hardened, otherwise they may not stick. If you choose to sprinkle later (or forget!), drizzle a little more melted chocolate on top and add the sprinkles of your choice.
And … that is it! Make sure to store these in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
Your family and friends will not believe how easy these are to make!
Also – don’t be afraid to take these to your cookie exchange! I have never seen any bring anything similar and they will wow your friends. Just don’t tell them how easy they were to make! 😇
🧁 Decoration Ideas
You can really jazz them up by changing the toppings. I created a short list, but if you find another amazing way to make these even more special, let us know in the comments! Here are some changes you can make in these Nutella cracker bites!
- Different sprinkles
- Chocolate shavings
- Powdered sugar
- Sea Salt
- Drizzle white chocolate on top
- Dip the top in a different colored chocolate. For instance, if the Nutella Bite is dipped in chocolate as we did, dip the top only in a white so it’s two-toned.
- While the chocolate is still wet, place heart shaped candies on top.
- Sprinkle baby chocolate chips
- Melt Reese’s Peanut Butter chips and drizzle on top or dip the ends
Tip: spend some extra time digging through the baking aisle at your local grocery store. They have some pretty amazing things! So, be creative.
❗ Expert Tips
- The intent on this recipe is for it to be a quick “grab and go” dessert to make during the holidays. Given that, use the Candiquik that you see at the top shelf of the grocery store and at Walmart. This recipe is not gourmet and the intent is not to be buying expensive chocolate to melt.
- As I mentioned above, use the double boiler method to melt the chocolate. You *can* microwave chocolate but you will need to just do 1-2 block so chocolate at a time and you can’t reheat it as it hardens and won’t melt again.
- Use whatever crackers you have or even pretzels that can hold the Nutella inside of it. You want to use a cracker that will hold the Nutella and not allow it to go spilling out the sides. We love the Mini Keeblers but the square pretzels work great here too.
