A while back I asked my imaginary friends on a message board what to make for a bake sale, and Sarah said I needed to make peanut butter blossoms. I used her recipe and whipped up a batch. They seemed to be a pretty big hit and I've made them three times since then (and the
bakesale was only a few weeks ago!)
Well, I bought a two pack of
nutella at Costco a few weeks ago, and with DH trying to lose 10 lbs, it was not a good combo. One of them had to go. So I decided to try to substitute
Nutella in the Peanut butter blossom recipe.
Nutella is softer than
pb, so I added at 1/8 cup of cocoa powder for good measure, and omitted the vanilla.
They spread out a lot more than traditional
pb blossoms, but with a candy cane kiss on top and their
chocolately goodness:
omg om
nom nom. I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, so I'll check the
interwebs and see if I can find a recipe that holds it's traditional blossom shape a little better before I make these again.
Nutella Blossoms
2 cups Bisquick
3.4 cup
Nutella1.8 cup cocoa powder
1 can sweetened condensed milk

mix ingredients, roll into balls and roll balls in white sugar. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Remove from oven, let sit for 1 minute, then press unwrapped kisses into top of cookies. Remove from cookie sheet and cool.

Tomorrow these will be off to a friend who asked me to make her Christmas cookies. How could I say no? :)
