Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the most sinfully delicious midnight snack that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM – Deep Fried Nutella-Stuffed Cookie Dough Bites! Trust me, your taste buds are about to go on a wild ride that’s totally worth those extra calories (because who’s counting at midnight, right? 😉).
As someone who’s constantly experimenting in the kitchen (much to my husband’s amusement), I’ve perfected this recipe after countless late-night cravings. And honey, let me tell you – these little bites of heaven are absolutely worth staying up for!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 tube of cookie dough (store-bought works fine, no judgment here!)
– 1 jar of Nutella (your new best friend)
– 2 cups of vegetable oil
– Powdered sugar for dusting
– A pinch of sea salt (because we’re fancy like that)
Now, let’s get down to business!
1. Cut your cookie dough into small chunks (about 1-inch pieces).
2. Here’s the fun part – flatten each piece and add a small dollop of Nutella in the center (try not to eat it all straight from the jar like I almost did! 🙈).
3. Carefully wrap the cookie dough around the Nutella, sealing it completely.
4. Pop these babies in the freezer for 15 minutes (perfect time to scroll through TikTok!).

Now, for the exciting part:
1. Heat your oil to 350°F (if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a tiny piece of dough in – it should sizzle and float).
2. Carefully drop 3-4 balls into the oil (don’t overcrowd, we’re not running a pool party here!).
3. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
4. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
The result? Crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, with warm Nutella just oozing out when you take that first bite. Y’all, it’s like a warm hug for your soul!
Pro tip: Serve these bad boys with a cold glass of milk or, if you’re feeling extra fancy like me, a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Because why not?
