These delicious little works of art are perfect for any occasion, from a get-together with friends to a family party. Forget store-bought candies, because once you try this recipe, you'll want to make them again and again! Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooling time: 20 minutes Total time: 35 minutes Number of servings: 12-15 candies Ingredients needed: - 50g milk chocolate (choose a quality chocolate for a better taste) - 100g bittersweet chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa for an intense taste) - 50g roasted hazelnuts (choose salted hazelnuts for a nice contrast) - 10 whole hazelnuts (for decoration) - 10g butter (the butter will make the chocolate glossy) - 50g Nutella (or any other favorite chocolate cream) Step 1: Prepare the filling Start by melting the milk chocolate with the butter in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir constantly to prevent the chocolate from burning. The milk chocolate will add a pleasant sweetness and the butter will add a smooth texture. Tip: Use a silicone spatula to stir, as this will help avoid scratches in the pan and make clean up easier. Also, make sure not to add water to the pan as this will cause the chocolate to clump. Step 2: Adding the hazelnuts and Nutella Once the chocolate is completely melted and even, take the saucepan off the heat. Add the chopped toasted hazelnuts and Nutella, stirring well until all ingredients are smooth. This combination will create a crunchy, rich and delicious filling. FAQ: You can substitute nuts, pistachios or even coconut flakes for the hazelnuts if you prefer. Experiment with different types of nuts to find the perfect combination for your taste! Step 3: Form the candies Prepare a baking tray and line it with baking paper. Using a spoon, form clusters of the chocolate and hazelnut mixture, leaving a little space between them so that they can spread easily. Place a whole hazelnut on top of each layer for an attractive look and extra crunch. Step 4: Cooling the filling Place the tray in the fridge for about 10 minutes, until the gramajoas have solidified. This step is crucial as it will help form a firm base for the bitter chocolate coating. Step 5: Bitter chocolate coating Meanwhile, melt the bitter chocolate in a bain-marie or microwave, being careful not to burn it. Once the candy has set, remove the pan from the fridge. Using a fork or spatula, coat each candy bar with the melted bitter chocolate. Make sure each candy is completely covered for an even appearance. Tips: If you want a special effect, you can add a little edible gold dust or salt flakes on top before the chocolate hardens. Step 6: Final cooling Once you've covered all the candy, place the tray back in the fridge for a further 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden. Step 7: Serve Once the chocolate has solidified, the candies are ready to serve! You can store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge, where they can last up to a week (if you manage not to eat them all in one day!). Serving tip: These crunchy filled chocolates go perfectly with a cup of flavored coffee or a glass of sweet wine. You can also use them as topping for an ice cream dessert or to decorate a cake.
