Nutella Crunch Dessert Shooters

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. The good news is, once the recipe is done and published, I know that I’m satisfied with it.  This recipe is no exception, and these might just be my favorite miniature desserts yet.

These dessert shooters are simple creatures, easy to make, no-bake, and bite-sized. The first time I made them, the cookie crumbs were limited to the very bottom and the tippy-top of the shooters, but clearly something was lacking. I ultimately decided (thanks to the help and support of my siblings and their significant others) that I wanted some more crunch throughout the dessert. A full cup of pulverized Oreo crumbs adds a nice crunch to every bite.  The filling is otherwise creamy, rich, and thick with Nutella flavoring.  The best alternative to eating it straight out of the jar by the spoonful.

My sister, Nikki, also recommends freezing them before eating for an extra frosty treat, though I haven’t tried them that way yet. Enjoy!
