When I was a kid, I used to play this ridiculously awesome (and simultaneously nerdy because I was OBSESSED) computer video game called Mega Math Blaster. Any of you late 80’s or early 90’s kids remember that game? Tell me I wasn’t the only one that played it!
Either way, I remember it being SO fun. I would play it almost daily! The basic concept was that the player would answer math problems to get through the game. At one point, I remember some sort of monster-alien thing talking about the area of a circle. He would say, “The area of a circle is π r2. Mmmmm, pieeeee!”. My sister and I would constantly quote that to each other. MMMM, PIE!
And now that I’m done nerding out about my fave childhood video game, I say to you: Mmmm, pie! No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Pie, to be exact 😉
This No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Pie is gluten-free, vegan, and delicious!
Now, while I do love me some Mini Apple Pies during this fall season, there’s just something about this chocolate pie that just seems right. Not only is it deliciously sweet and perfect for a post-dinner dessert or snack, it’s incredibly easy to make! Loaded with what I consider a major improvement to the world of nut butters, Naturally More Chocolate Hazelnut Spread with Probiotics and Flax! You heard that right, friend. Can you believe it?? All of our nut butter dreams are finally coming true!
It doesn’t get much better than an already delicious, chocolately-goodness, crunchy and smooth hazelnut spread that is ALSO loaded with much needed probiotics and flax. So basically, this No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Pie filled with Naturally More Chocolate Hazelnut Spread is a way to rock at life right now. In other words, you need pie, I need pie, we all need pie. I mean, pretty much.
ALSO: good news! I’ve partnered with Naturally More to give away a 3-pack of their delicious to-go hazelnut butter and 2 jars of their 12 oz. hazelnut butter! Simply share how you would use this hazelnut butter in the comments below to enter. The winner will be chosen this Friday, Sept. 29th! Giveaway has ended. Thanks for participating!

I think I would just eat it by the spoonful it looks so good. I do have a recipe for bars that are like peanut butter cups and this could be used instead of the peanut butter.

Noel Lizotte says:
Wow! This is just what I need this week with unseasonably warm temperatures in the 90s. No Bake Desserts are coming up!
I’m also a child of the late 80s and I’m afraid I don’t remember that game. Then again, we weren’t video game players so my memory doesn’t really count.
Christine McMichael replied:
Thanks, Noel! 🙂
Sarah says:
Looks delicious! I love the combination of chocolate and hazelnuts and the pop of color and flavor with the raspberries.
The first thing I would do is spread it on some toasted fresh homemade sourdough. Then I would start baking all the things, one of the first things probably being scones, bread, or cookies!
Christine McMichael replied:
Thanks, Sarah! 🙂
Tim says:
We eat a lot of hazelnut spread in our home, but we mostly use it as a spread. I guess we are not very creative, or the stuff is so good that we don’t want to have to wait to eat it. I see no reason you could not substitute this for peanut butter in cookies.
Christine McMichael replied:
That sounds delicious!
