Steps
Chocolate and Hazelnut Kisses recipe is really easy to make.
First, break up milk chocolate and melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave if you prefer.
Add the Nutella (or the hazelnut cream of your choice), melted butter and chopped hazelnuts. Mix well with the help of a spatula in order to well incorporate all the ingredients.
Refrigerate for about 15 minutes or until the mixture becomes easily workable and not too sticky.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. With the help of a teaspoon, take some tufts from the mixture: they must be more or less as big as a walnut.
Roll them up with your hands and place them on the parchment paper. You will “get your hands dirty”, but it’s worth it;). At most, use disposable gloves for food.
Put the baking sheet in the fridge for 15 minutes, then place a whole hazelnut on top of each ball, making a light pressure. Return the balls to the refrigerator for other 15 minutes.
Finish
Meanwhile, break up the dark chocolate and melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave if you prefer (1). Dip one ball at a time in the melted chocolate (2). Cover it completely with the chocolate, helping yourself with 2 teaspoons (3 – 4).
Place them gradually on a wire rack and let them solidify. It will take about 30 minutes.
Here they are. Chocolate and Hazelnut Kisses are ready!
Enjoy!
Buon San Valentino!
