Homemade Ferrero truffles are super simple, sweet, crispy, crunchy and oh so delicious treat.
I’m a huge lover of ferrero truffles (I am crazy about combination of chocolate and toasted hazelnuts) not only ferrero rocher or raffaelo, which I like the most are rondnoir truffles. Which remainded me I have to try to make these at home too.
Let’s talk about this easy, yet super delucious truffles. What I like the most about them, except their deliciousness of course, the fact that they require no baking – you only mix few ingredients, roll the dough in the balls and dip in melted chocolate. Can’t get easier than this. The flavor is amazing, nothing beats the combination of chocolate and toasted hazelnuts (ok, maybe choc and coconut), texture is a combination of silky chocolate nutella filling with crunchy pieces of hazelnuts and of course one big piece of whole toasted hazelnut in the middle. Yum !!
These make as great edible gift, too.
