  1. We are just about to make this hope it is good
     
  2. I just finshed making this and I am munching on it as I type. MmmMmmMmm!!! I am a big Nutella fan, so I'm always on the lookout for recipes that use Nutella. This one is staying on my "to make" list! I used margarine instead of butter because that is what I had in the house. I didn't add the unsweetened cocoa, either. It still tastes great. Remember when melting chocolate to go low & slow so it doesn't sieze up. The recipe says medium-low heat, but I always melt it on low, very slowly, stirring occationally. It took 5-10 minutes for the chocolate to melt to a pourable consistancy. Great recipe, Geema. Thanks for sharing it!
     
  3. Very tasty, a grown up version of puppy chow (same idea but with peanut butter). I did have a problem with melting the chocolate mixture. Followed the directions exactly but it seized up and just wouldn't melt. I suspect the nutella had something to do with it and may try melting the butter and chips together before stirring in the nutella. In any event, I soldiered on and mooshed the mixture into the cereal then coated with powdered sugar and cocoa. Some was crushed, but that made it easier to eat by the handful. Thanks, Geema, for a lovely snack that I have made myself sick eating too much of!
     
  4. Woohoo! This stuff is so yummy. My sister is wandering down the hall with a bowl saying "mmmm." She hasn't stopped saying it for the last fifteen minutes. I did make a couple of changes I thought I would share...nothing that really alters the recipe. I just used a variety of things to make it more like a party mix and make it look more festive. I used crispix, wheat chex, cheerios and pretzel sticks. And, our family doesn't like a real intense chocolate flavor so I skipped the cocoa and just coated them in powdered sugar. Thanks so much for sharing, Geema!

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.&nbsp; As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic.&nbsp;<img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.&nbsp; But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.&nbsp; What a complete turn around it was to&nbsp;pass up&nbsp;all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat!&nbsp;<img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p> <p>&nbsp;The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands.&nbsp; Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list.&nbsp; But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p> <p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities.&nbsp; I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.&nbsp; Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here:&nbsp; <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making.&nbsp; I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
