Nutella Truffles w/Raspberry Sauce
You KNOW I have a wicked sweet tooth & you KNOW how much I am madly passionate about Nutella! So hello why not put two of my favorite things together! Sheer bliss! I don’t know why I hadn’t made these sooner. They are little bites of pure happiness. You look at them and think, WOW that has to be complicated. Too much trouble. But NO! They’re really not! You can make these much faster than you can a cake. Not faster than just dipping your spoon into the Nutella jar but fast nonetheless {you can do that while they’re setting up in the fridge tee hee}
The nice people over at Challenge Dairy recently contacted me to let me know about a new promotion they’re doing called “The Real Challenge for Real Baker’s Photo Contest” Where you can enter to win over $2,500 in Nordic Ware Prizes. Nice eh? Who couldn’t use a few extra pans! Visit Challenge Dairy for all the rules & regulations and to submit your entry! I’m submitting this baby…
Don’t you want a bite? The filling possibilities are endless but you know that my mind ALWAYS goes to Nutella first. Just can’t help it. I am a Nutella-holic! {Nutella if you’re listening I think we’d make a great team! Call me *wink wink*) Okay focusing…The Ghiradelli chocolate melted beautifully for me and set up nicely in this recipe. The small dab of butter mixed in just made it silky and smooth.
Speaking of butter, if you haven’t tried Challenge Butter the quality is amazing. You can click on “Where to Buy” tab on their site to find a coupon and the retailers that carry Challenge Dairy Products. Sadly they’re not available in all states but here’s to hoping they will expand and SOON *pleading*

Nutella Truffles with Raspberry Sauce
What you’ll need:
2 – 11.5 ounce packages of chocolate (I used Ghirardelli 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
13 ounces Nutella
6 ounces fresh Raspberries
1 tablespoon sugar {more if you like your sauce sweeter}
Special Equipment: Nordic Ware Bundt Tea Cake & Candy Mold – Thirty 1/8 cup cavities
What to do:
1. Using a double boiler, place chocolate into the top of double boiler and melt chocolate over the simmering water, stirring as necessary. When chocolate is melted turn off heat and add pat of butter. Mix together until butter is combined.
2. While chocolate is melting, spray your molds with cooking spray with flour. Spoon some of the chocolate into the molds. After all the molds have chocolate invert the mold pan over a Silpat mat. Wait a few seconds until all excess chocolate has dripped out. Try to clean as much of the excess off of the top of the mold as possible. Place mold into the refrigerator to allow shell to harden. Approx 15-20 minutes.
3. When shells have hardened remove mold from refrigerator. {IF your melted chocolate has begun to set, return double boiler to heat and allow to re-melt} Spoon approx 1 teaspoon of Nutella into each mold. When complete. Top off each mold with melted chocolate. Again, cleaning up any excess melted chocolate. Return mold to refrigerator to set up. Approx 30 minutes.
4. Invert mold to remove truffles. Giving slight tap to counter if necessary to help release truffles.
5. To make sauce: place your raspberries into a small bowl, add sugar. Mash together with fork. Place raspberries through a small sieve until it’s a smooth sauce consistency. Drizzle sauce over truffles.

I would make those truffles. And maybe some dark chocolate truffles with cacao nibs!
I would make a strawberry white chocolate candy. I’ve had strawberries on the brain for the past few weeks now. Love ‘em.
Oh my goodness – - – - I would HAVE to make this recipe. It looks wonderful. Thanks for the great recipe.
soooo cute! I would have to make brownie bites cover with chocolate ganache. YUM!
I signed up for RSS feed- Yeah!
Stopping by from SITS – Happy SITS Saturday Sharefest
Mmmm delicious candies for gift giving and sharing with the family. I can just imagine the look on my MIL’s face when I told her that I MADE these candies! LOL
I would use this pan to make the recipe above… and anything with chocolate.
Oh, I love the recipe & the pan! I can’t imagine what I WOULDN”T want to make in this pan, but here’s a list of things I already have made from Tastespotting & would like to try in the Nordicware Mini Bundt pan: Almond Financiers, Mini Apple Tarts with bourbon caramel, Espresso brownies, leek & cheddar biscuits, and of course the Nutella Truffles!

I would make this recipe!! It sounds SOOOOO good!
I <3 Nutella!
I would make cool stuff with my 5 year old daughter.
What I would do with this Nordic Ware pan if I were the lucky winner is make the Nutella Truffles with Raspberry Sauce for my son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. I just know the bride, groom, family, and friends would rave over them.
I don’t twitter, but I do use facebook. I would share my story about the great pan with everyone.
I have signed up for the email subscription.
I really love this pan! Martha Stewart has a similar one, but this one’s so much cuter. ;{
If I had it, I would use it to make chocolate covered marzipan. Usually I just roll it into balls, but this pan would make them look way better.
I need it. <3

I would surely make little corn breads and little cakes….for sure your Nutella recipe!MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d definitely make these with Nutella, but also would try truffles…and then I’d probably buy another pan and give to my friend who owns a small dessert restaurant, ciocolat, here in town. What she wouldn’t do with one of these!
I posted this on my FB page.
On my FB page I specifically addressed this to a friend who owns a dessert restaurant and catering business = ciocolat.
I <3 Nutella!!!
I’ve been sending care packages to my elderly aunt and uncle in my hometown of St. Louis. I always make gift baskets with homemade goodies for the holidays but it’s harder to come up with something fun and inventive for regular packages. I would ‘lurve’ to send them your truffles using this pan!

I’ve been thinking about making lemon tarts with a rosemary pastry crust but I wonder if I could make this into a cupcake version and use this awesome pan.
Great nutella truffles recipe. Can’t wait to try it.
RT on twitter

Great looking truffles and chocolate, oh my. Little cakes with a center of nutella? My husband is so hooked on the stuff too.
They look so very heavenly…. I crave! I have half a mind to take the jar of nutella that I know is sitting on the counter at the dining hall…Just so I’d be able to make this.
And then after that? I’m dreaming of some citrus’y pound cakes. Yum.
Retweeted!

I’d get some great dark chocolate and make maple creams with strawberry centers
I’d try to make some nice buttermilk cake with this pan – it’s so nice!
Love Nutella and raspberries. All I need now is to win that cute little mold pan to make these truffles for my family.
