Let’s go to recipe: melt the butter with the chocolate (50 g of the total 200 needed in this recipe), then add the hazelnut spread with cocoa and the chopped hazelnuts. Now mix everything very well and leave in the freezer for a few minutes to make the mixture moldable with your hands.

We are ready now for shape with your hands our Baci, fit a whole hazelnut on the top in the center of each one and level the edges of our chocolate with your fingers before “sealing” it in the chocolate.

Now all we have to do is melt (this time without butter) the remaining 150 g of chocolate and dip the “naked” Baci inside until they are completely covered, taking care to drain the excess chocolate, for a cleaner result ” and smooth as possible.

Let them solidify on a sheet of baking paper well spaced apart and then all you have to do is enjoy them or package them in a chocolate box if you want to give a sweet gift to your special person!

Let us know if you will make them again and… see you next recipe, friends of MoltoFood!
