Recipe: Tasty Hazelnut Chocolate Balls

Hazelnut Chocolate Balls. Homemade hazelnut chocolate balls are made with only six real-food ingredients — hazelnuts, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt and diary-free mini chocolate chips. They taste like Ferrero Rocher candies but are healthy, gluten-free as well as vegan and paleo friendly. Hazelnut Chocolate Balls are delightful little treats.

They can be made sugar-free, are packed with healthy, whole food ingredients, and are an amazing energy ball, snack and sweet treat. The other magic ingredient in my No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Balls is Nutella. Nutella is a rich chocolate and hazelnut sweet spread sent from above. You can cook Hazelnut Chocolate Balls using 4 ingredients and 3 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Hazelnut Chocolate Balls

1. You need 140 g of plain biscuits, crushed.
2. Prepare 100 g of condensed sweetened milk, Nestle.
3. Prepare 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, unsweetened.
4. Prepare 1/2 cup of hazelnuts, crushed.

I like to use Nutella in this recipe to add a nutty chocolate fudge-like flavor and texture, and this is the other thing that really binds the balls together. These hazelnut and chocolate energy balls make the perfect sweet and healthy snack! They're great when you need an afternoon treat and are packed with protein! Add the maple syrup, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.

Hazelnut Chocolate Balls instructions

1. Mix crushed biscuits, condensed milk and cocoa powder with a spoon. The mixture will look like a paste. If the mixture was too runny, add more biscuits..
2. Form small chocolate balls and roll them in the crushed hazelnuts..
3. Place them in the fridge and chill for an hour. Serve..

Pulse again until you get a smooth, sticky texture. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Heads up: if you don't like the flavour of raw cacao nibs, you might not like this recipe. Cacao has a very strong, somewhat bitter, unsweetened chocolate flavour, however, if you do like cacao, you will love the crunchy bite and rich chocolate flavour of these simple hazelnut energy balls. They taste similar to Ferrero Rocher chocolates, but are made with simple, healthy ingredients.
