Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp hazelnut spread
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions

  • Add the cocoa, butter, hazelnut spread and sweetened condensed milk to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Mix together and continue stirring for 15 minutes, or until very thick.
  • Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Allow to cool for 20 minutes, or until cool enough to handle.
  • Use a small buttered spoon to scoop out the chocolate.
  • Butter the palms of your hands and roll the chocolate into approximately quarter sized balls.
  • Roll the balls in the chopped hazelnuts.
  • Place in paper candy cups or mini muffin cups.

Notes

  • If you'd like to roll the chocolate truffles in something besides chopped hazelnuts, I recommend the following sprinkles, nuts or candies.
    • Chopped Peanuts
    • Chopped Macadamia Nuts
    • Chocolate Sprinkles
    • Rainbow Sprinkles
    • Colored Sprinkles for holidays
    • Shredded Coconut
    • Mini M&M’s
    • Chopped Pistachios
