Ingredients
  

2 Weetabix biscuits

1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread (e.g., Nutella)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust based on sweetness preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for creaminess)

1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts (for topping)

Fresh berries (e.g., raspberries or strawberries, for topping)

Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, crumble the Weetabix biscuits into smaller pieces. This will provide a crunchy texture to the base of your jars.

    Mix the Liquid Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chocolate hazelnut spread, chia seeds, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until well combined. If you're using Greek yogurt, add it here and mix until smooth.

      Layer the Ingredients: In mason jars or containers, start by adding a layer of the crumbled Weetabix at the bottom. Follow with a layer of the chocolate hazelnut mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of the chocolate mixture on top.

        Chill Overnight: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit overnight (or at least 4 hours) so the Weetabix can absorb the liquid and soften.

          Serve and Garnish: When ready to serve, take the jars out of the refrigerator. Top the mixture with crushed hazelnuts, fresh berries, and dark chocolate shavings for an extra indulgent touch.

            Enjoy: Grab your spoon, dig into your delicious Chocolate Hazelnut Overnight Weetabix Jars, and enjoy a satisfying breakfast or dessert!
