One of my favorite candy is Ferrero Rocher. I love the combination of chocolate and hazelnut so I created these sugar free chocolate hazelnut truffles.
They are very easy to make. First make my chocolate truffle recipe and put it in the refrigerator for an hour to chill. Take a little bit of truffle mixture in your hand and flatten it out. Wrap it around a whole hazelnut.
Roll it between both hands to form a ball. Then roll it in a bowl of finely chopped hazelnuts to coat. These amazing hazelnut truffles make a great finger food dessert to serve at that new years party you’ve been planning.
