Chocolate Nutella Hazelnut Bites
The easiest truffles you will ever make!
Equipment
- small candy wrappers (like teeny muffin tins)
Ingredients
- 3 cups measured in a dry measure) good quality chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Nutella
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 60 whole hazelnuts
Instructions
- In a large stainless steel bowl, place all ingredients (except hazelnuts and paper liners) in a bowl.
- Microwave on high for 2 minutes (or, alternatively, melt over a double boiler)
- Take bowl out of the microwave and stir vigorously for about 1 minute; the bits of chocolate should melt, but if it doesn't, microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until smooth (if using a double boiler, just stir over the simmering water - remembering to make sure that the bottom of the bowl doesn't contact the water - until everything is melted and smooth).
- Pour into small paper wrappers and top with a hazelnut
- Chill for an hour or so and then serve (they can be frozen too).
- Enjoy ...like immensely enjoy!!
Notes
If you'd rather have a more 'traditional' looking truffle, simply roll a small spoonful in your hands and then roll in chopped hazelnuts!
