Categories Dessert, Easy Recipes, Gluten Free

This chocolate hazelnut nutty buddy mix has chocolate hazelnut spread (nutella), toasted coconut, roasted hazelnuts, rice square cereal (Chex cereal), coconut oil and powdered sugar. It’s delicious and the perfect twist on a classic nutty buddy mix.

I love how easy this mix is to put together! It’s the perfect Christmas neighbor or friend gift for the nut lovers in your life. It’s also great for hiking, road trips, when you’re asked to bring a snack to a party, etc.

I also add a nice pinch of salt in this recipe so it’s not overly sweet and it has some balance.
