Hi there, I make something similar to this a lot, but just melt dark chocolate to hold everything together. I also add chopped nuts (any kind) and dried fruit (craisins, chopped apricots). The dried fruit makes it chewy. You can make it gluten free by using gluten-free cookies – I often keep a bag of those on hand so I can easily whip these up for when GF friends come by. AND, I make them individual sized in a lined mini muffin tin. Like I said, similar!!

Is it possible to adapt this recipe to use Nutella rather than the chocolate mixture?
Hi Angela,
I was looking at the ingredients of Nutella and some of which are sugar, cocoa and skim milk. The chocolate mixture on the other hand consists of condensed milk,sugar, butter and cocoa. So I am not sure if it will work but you could give it a try. Start with a small amount of digestive biscuits and nutella first and see if they will adhere after freezing. Otherwise you might need to add equal amounts of butter and condensed milk. Hope this helps.
