If you’re scrambling for a last-minute gift idea, I’ve got you covered. Or, if you’re scrambling for a quick but decadent chocolate fix, I’ve still got you covered.

I researched a lot for this theme of ABC baking from around the world. I am not exaggerating, but I spent more time in researching the recipes than cooking.

And while I stress about most of my dessert recipes fairly equally (making sure I’ve selected the best ingredients and ratios and baking times etc.), it seems to be the “simplest” recipes that absolutely make me want to tear my hair out. These sweet and simple, supremely easy, no-bake Nutella Crunch Dessert Shooters are a prime example. A dozen text messages and photos went out to my siblings, filled with questions about general preferences and pleas for opinions, and it finally took one sister and another sister’s boyfriend showing up at my house and taste-testing these dessert shooters before I finally settled upon the perfect recipe....
