Directions
- Begin by processing the toasted hazelnuts in a food processor for 5-10 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until they transform into a smooth, creamy butter. Transfer this freshly made hazelnut butter to a large mixing bowl. Add the tahini, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing thoroughly to combine all ingredients. Once combined, place in a closed container and cool in the fridge until it’s a thicker consistency.
- Once cooled, melt the bittersweet chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth. Shape the hazelnut spread into small balls and dip into the melted chocolate until covered. Place on a sheet tray and sprinkle Maldon salt before the chocolate cools. Cool in the fridge until the chocolate fully hardens. And enjoy!!
