Description

Sweet and salty perfection! Crispy hazelnuts dipped in rich chocolate – the perfect treat.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) roasted hazelnuts
  • 3/4 cups (177 ml) chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
  2. Place the hazelnuts in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate.
  3. Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium bowl, and melt in the microwave at 20-second intervals, stirring well each time. Once melted, add the hazelnuts and stir until well coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with salt, and freeze for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate hardens. Break into pieces.
  4. Store in the freezer in a glass jar or container.

Notes

  • For easier dipping, freeze the hazelnuts for at least 30 minutes before melting the chocolate.
  • If you don’t have coconut oil, use vegetable shortening or another neutral-flavored oil instead.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
