NUTELLA STUFFED OATMEAL COOKIE BARS

It’s World Nutella Day!!! Woohoo!!! If someone says that we must eat Nutella today, who are we to argue? Grab a jar and dig in!

Seeing as how my dinner last night was chips and guac and football brownies (Super Bowl), I probably should be making some healthier choices today. But, World Nutella Day only comes once a year. I couldn’t call myself a dessert blogger if I didn’t indulge just a little today.

I first fell in love with Nutella when my husband and I were on a trip to Europe (in our pre-child life) many years ago. We were in the South of France visiting a small medieval town called St. Paul de Vence. We sat on an old cobblestone wall and shared a delicious warm crepe filled with Nutella. It was a breathtaking afternoon,  and that picture perfect moment has sealed in a life long love for Nutella.

I have shared several Nutella recipes with you, but these Nutella Bars are my absolute favorite! They are soooooo good!

• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread

3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
