Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups whole hazelnuts (skins removed)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pound dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F. Arrange the hazelnuts in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and fragrant, 13-15 minutes.
  • In a food processor, blend the roasted hazelnuts and sugar until it becomes a smooth paste.
