Mini Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Nutella
Nutella lovers around the world, it’s time to celebrate World Nutella Day! The brainchild of Sara Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso, World Nutella Day started in 2007 and gave fans of the delicious chocolate hazelnut concoction a chance to share their devotion in whatever form seemed fit, whether spread on toast, crepes, rice crispy treats, put it in a king cake, or just licked off a spoon (my personal favorite).

Rice Crispy Treats with Nutella
I’m a total kid at heart when it comes to these crispy, gooey treats. Mom made them when we were growing up, and I still can’t resist them. A batch does not last long at our house, so it’s probably a good thing that I don’t make them very often.
There are many, many ways to fix these, but I like the simple version—no nuts, no peanut butter, no brown rice. Well, actually there is one thing that I like on top of my treats…Nutella. Spread a layer of that heavenly hazelnut chocolate concoction on top, and all self-control goes out the window. It makes a tasty treat that is good for your soul, if not your hips!
