Nutella Fudge Bars

Nutella Fudge Bars have a rich Nutella filling sandwiched between two layers of oatmeal cookie crust. They get a little crispy and chewy around the edges and taste absolutely divine.

Once cooled, these Nutella Bars slice well and are perfect for care packages and bringing to potlucks or for your holiday gift giving.

Is there anything more delicious than Nutella? I don’t think so.

I love it so much I have a hard time saving any to use in recipes. I just want to grab the jar and a spoon and have at it!

Sometimes when you bake with Nutella, the flavor gets a little lost, but not in these Nutella Fudge Bars. The filling is mixed with melted chocolate and heavy cream, but the flavor is all Nutella.

The top and the bottom crust are perfectly buttery, chewy, and crumbly with just the right amount of sweetness..

A tall glass of milk and one of these Nutella Fudge Bars makes an afternoon snack that can’t be beat!
