HAZELNUT CREAM (NUTELLA) BARS
- In a small (6x8 inch / 16 x 20 cm) baking dish, add the cookie crumbs and melted butter, mix well together and press down in the pan.
- Spread with Nutella (I placed the Nutella in a bowl over a pot of boiling water to thin it out for easier spreading or you could use the microwave), top with chocolate chips (I mixed the two together) and top with the chopped hazelnuts.
- Press down firmly. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. Let cool completely then place in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes for easier slicing. Enjoy!
