Ingredients
  

For the ferrero rocher "dough"

  • 1 cup hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup raw cacao powder
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1-3 tbsp plant-based milk as needed
  • pinch of sea salt

Coating:

  • 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Add the hazelnuts to food processor and process until it starts to become sticky mixture. Then add the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
  • You may need to wet your hands for this step, but roll the mixture into balls and place a whole hazelnut in the center of them, pressing the dough around it.
  • Place in freezer for at least 30 minutes until hardened and easier to work with.
  • Add the chopped hazelnuts to a small bowl.
  • Melt the chocolate chips (either in the microwave or using a double boiler method) until completely smooth.
  • Dip each ball into the melted chocolate & them roll in chopped hazelnuts. Place back in freezer until firm, about 2 hours, then enjoy!

Notes

These are best stored in an airtight container in the freezer!
