Snack time has never been more adorable!
Are you searching for a new way to keep the kiddos busy? If so, we have a fun and simple idea for afternoon craft time! What are two things that most kids go crazy for? If you said Nutella and puppies, you’re on the right track. This Nutella Puppies craft recipe combines these two things for a fun and delicious snack!
Nutella is a popular, delicious chocolate hazelnut spread. At SkinnyMs., we’ve taken our own stab at a similar spread, aptly titled Skinny Nutella Spread. It’s easy to make at home, and it’s lower in calories than the store brand. Plus, it uses whole, clean ingredients, making it a deliciously healthy alternative to Nutella. Of course, if you don’t have the ingredients to make you own, actual nutella will work just fine!
This adorable food craft makes use of this Nutella spread and bread to make puppies that are almost too cute to eat. Here’s how to make these skinny Nutella Puppies. Enjoy!
How to Make Nutella Puppies
1. First, draw the puppy template on a piece of paper. Separately, cut out the ear and face templates.
2. When you have your templates, place them over three slices of bread and carefully cut out the shapes. If you have cookie cutters, you can use those instead.
3. Next, place bread pieces on a plate in a puppy shape.
3. Now, pour Skinny Nutella Spread into a pastry bag a plastic baggie with a small hole cut into the corner. Using the bag, squeeze out the spread in small circles as you layer the top of the bread. Leave a space at the bottom of the head so you can draw the nose and mouth. If you want your puppy to have spots, spread the Nutella in a design similar to the picture above. Smooth the surface with a knife or small spatula.
4. Add blueberry eyes and make a nose by squeezing the Skinny Nutella Spread out of the bag.
Enjoy your cute and yummy little treat!
