Nutella Swirl Bars Recipe

This is going to be a quick post today, I hope you understand.  The movers brought some boxes yesterday so I could start packing.  I am exhausted, and my back is sore after today!  It is a good thing I only have to pack the boxes, not carry them across the house, load the truck and then unload into another place.  I don’t think my body could handle that.  I thought I was in decent shape too, I ran 6 miles on Monday!

I made these bars a couple weeks ago, and they were wonderful.  What isn’t good with Nutella really?  The Nutella does not dominate these bars, just a light swirl…yum!  I might have just the right amount of Nutella left to make these again.  Gotta clean out my pantry, right?!
