By norsegal8

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 6 ounces milk chocolate
• 6 tablespoons of butter
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• 24 whole hazelnuts
• 1 cup ground hazelnuts

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, sift together the powdered sugar and the cocoa; set aside. In a saucepan, melt the chocolate and butter. Add the cream and reserved cocoa mixture. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until the mixture is thickened and smooth. Pour into an 8-inch square dish.

Cover and refrigerate overnight. Using a melon baller or a spoon, shape the candy into 1-inch balls. Press a hazelnut into each, reshape the balls and roll in the ground hazelnuts. Store in the refrigerator.
