As promised, I made y’all nutella and almond bars. They happen to be healthy, but you’d never know it. They taste like you’re biting into a chocolate candy bar, only better because this bar is made with my current obsession… Nutella. I. Love. It!
I happened to find it in a twofer pack at my local Costco.
Gotta love buying in bulk.
I came across it as I was walking down the peanut butter and jam isle. At first I passed it, and then recognition kicked it. I did the old swirlaroo and ran back down the isle. You see, I didn’t exactly believe what I just saw, but there it was shining in its glorious plastic wrap before me. I stood there for a brief second with my jaw to the floor taking in the beautiful sight before me.
After the initial shock, I ran up to it, hugged it, and raised it over my head in triumph. This was a really exciting moment for me, people! Two large jars of Nutella in one pack! I felt like a winner. I felt like the universe was on my side for once. Thanks for coming to Costco. Here’s your twofer pack of Nutella. People, life doesn’t get any better than this. No. Wait. It does. I totally took that twofer pack home, made myself some Nutella and almond bars, and ate them. Bam! Life just got better.
I found this recipe on The Healthy Foodie. Sonia sure knows how to make healthy look and taste delicious. I adapted the recipe slightly to fit my taste preferences.
Aren’t these the cutest bars ever? And, they’re down right tasty to boot.
The bars get stored in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat them.
These bars are ridiculously easy to make. All you have to do is place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until smooth. No baking required.
This is healthy snackin’ made tasty.
I’m also announcing the winner of the PB Crave giveaway! Drum roll, please.
Congrats, Judy Gardner! You’re the lucky winner.
Nutella & Almond Bars
1 cup Nutella
1 cup raw almonds
1/2 cup flaxseed meal
1/2 cup shredded coconut
Line a square 8-by-8 pan (or smaller) with parchment paper.
Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until the mixture comes together and the almonds become small chunks, about 2 minutes. Make sure you stop the processor to scrap down the sides.
Transfer the mixture to the parchment lined pan. Press the mixture into the pan, forming it into a square.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars. Store in an airtight container, separating each layer with wax paper, for up to 1 week. Enjoy!

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
O…M….G! Those look so good!!! I want one! Or ten! Or eleventy thousand!
I love the visual I have in my head of you running through the store while holding the nutella over your head
I’ve still never had nutella. These will make me change that!
ooh ! This is seriously delish and simple too ! yummm ! Will be making this Jen
thanks for sharing. Will have to hide a couple for myself before the kids grab it !!!
Oh my. I need to make these ASAP!! Though I’m afraid that I would have a hard time keeping them in the refrigerator. . .I would be constantly snacking on them!
These look yum! But not sure when nutella became healthy!
Sneaky health food (and bulk Nutella!) is the best!
How did you know…..?? You made my FAVORITE. I could myself to death on Nutella. It’s a problem.

When I was in college (and I keep saying that. I feel old.), I would buy a two pack of Nutella and a two pack of peanut butter from Costco, and I would consider my grocery shopping pretty much done.
And that’s pretty darn sneaky, putting Nutella in a healthy snack. You’re all- hey come eat some chocolatey/hazelnutty goodness. And it’s good for you! MWAHAHAHAHAHA. I can’t decide if it’s evil or genius. I’ll settle on both.
Oh Jennie! These look outstanding! LOVE the almond and nutella combination.
ok, these are amazing. i think me and my little guy will love eating these
These sound delicious! yum!
oh yum, these sound wonderful! and the fact that they’re healthy? icing on the cake … errrr… nutella bar. =)
You had me at Nutella!! These look so good!
Healthy Nutella treats?! Oh yes! Give me some!
Oh Jennie…..these look delicious! It’s like making your own little candy bar! Gotta love that Costco and their twofers! Love this sweet, no bake recipe! : )
