Ingredients

Ingredients (yields ~12 bites): 200 g Nutella (or other hazelnut spread), 12 plain biscuits/crackers, 7 iced cherry tarts (remove and finely chop glacé cherries and any fondant icing).

Step-by-step

Method: Crush biscuits to fine crumbs in a bag or food processor. Mix crumbs with Nutella until you get a sticky, moldable dough (add a little more spread if needed). Scoop small portions and press into rounds or mini muffin tin to form bases. Top each base with a pinch of chopped fondant and a piece of glacé cherry, pressing gently. Chill 30+ minutes to firm.

Storage & Quick Tips

Tips: Chill tools for easier shaping, use a mini muffin tin for uniform bites, and serve chilled or at room temperature. Leftovers keep refrigerated in an airtight container.

Ingredients

  • 200 grams Nutella (hazelnut chocolate spread)
  • 12 pieces plain biscuits/crackers
  • 1 piece iced cherry tart (fondant icing with glacé cherry)

Instructions

  1. Remove glacé cherry and any fondant icing from the iced cherry tart and chop them finely.
  2. Place biscuits in a zip-top bag and crush until fine crumbs form, or pulse in a food processor.
  3. Combine biscuit crumbs and Nutella in a bowl; mix until a sticky, moldable dough forms (add a little more Nutella if needed).
  4. Scoop small portions of the mixture and press into bite-sized rounds or into a mini muffin tin to form bases.
  5. Top each base with a small piece of chopped fondant and a piece of glacé cherry, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Chill the tart bites in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Serve chilled or at room temperature; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

FAQs

How long do these tart bites keep? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; bring to room temperature a few minutes before serving for softer texture.
Can I substitute the Nutella or cherries? Yes — swap Nutella with another chocolate-hazelnut spread or use peanut butter for a different flavor; adjust quantity for consistency.
Can I prepare these in advance or freeze them? They can be made a day ahead and chilled; freeze for up to 1 month, thaw in fridge before serving.
