These Easy Nutella Truffles make a decadent treat and are incredibly easy to make with only three ingredients!
Nutella, graham crackers and chocolate.
We started by crushing the graham crackers in the food processor until they became crumbs, then we added Nutella until a smooth dough came together.
I stuck the dough in the freezer to firm up so that they would hold their shape once I dipped them into the melted chocolate.
We made a few into lollipops just by inserting a stick in the middle. By adding a few festive sprinkles and sweetheart candies makes these some mighty special candy grams just for Valentine’s Day.

Save RecipeIngredients
One sleeve of graham crackers (about 9 crackers)
1 - 1 1/2 cups Nutella
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
Coating
festive sanding sugar or graham cracker crumbs
heart sprinkles
sweetheart candies
Instructions
- Add graham crackers to food processor and process until mixture resembles crumbs. Start by adding 1/2 cup of Nutella and pulse until dough forms. Continue adding more Nutella and process until dough comes together smoothly. You want the mixture to be sturdy and sticky enough to be able to form balls. Add a little bit more Nutella or cracker crumbs to achieve this consistency if needed.
- Using your hands, scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and form into a ball and then shape them into hearts. Place on aluminium foil or parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 30-60 minutes or until firm.
- Melt chocolate according to package directions or using a double boiler heat chocolate, stirring until melted. Place sprinkles in a bowl.
- Work with one truffle at a time and leave the remaining truffles in the freezer as you need them. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
- For Nutella truffles:
- Using a fork, dip bottom of nutella truffle in the melted chocolate to coat evenly, remove truffle from fork carefully with a toothpick and place onto the lined cookie sheet. Quickly add sprinkles of your choice so they will stick. Refrigerate or return to the freezer until truffles are firm and set. Repeat with remaining truffles - For Nutella lollipops - Dip lollipop stick into melted chocolate then insert into the bottom of the heart truffles. Place back in the freezer for another 5 minutes until stick is set. Once it's set, using the lollipop stick, dip nutella truffle in the melted chocolate until the truffle is coated evenly and then add sprinkles of your choice. Refrigerate or freezer until truffles are firm and set. Repeat with remaining truffles
Notes
This recipe will yield approximately 14 to 15 Nutella truffles. The recipe doubles easily.
