What would you say if I told you that Nutella balls are the easiest dessert ever?
They are delicious, nutritious, and they don’t require any cooking skills or equipment.
Nutella has become a household name over the years.
The chocolate spread was originally created in Italy in 1945 by two brothers named Pietro and Ugo Manetti.
Since then, the brand has grown into a global phenomenon.
In fact, Nutella is now sold in more than 100 countries around the world.
"Nutella Balls" is a recipe from my friend and fellow food blogger, Mariana.
She shared her secret with me, and I am sharing it with you today
