NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT THUMBPRINTS

No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Thumbprints image

Years ago, a friend gave me a recipe for chocolate peanut treats that didn't require baking. I thought it was a quick and clever way to whip up a batch of sweet snacks without heating up the kitchen, and I started making different variations. This one includes luscious Nutella and crunchy hazelnuts. Yum! -Lisa Speer, Palm Beach, Florida
