Home-made hazelnut praline

For about 30 pieces

150 g nougat
150 g dark cooking chocolate
50 g butter
50 g roasted and ground hazelnuts
30 whole hazelnut kernels, roasted
50 g roasted and chopped hazelnuts

Melt the nougat and dark chocolate slowly in a bowl in a bain-marie. Remove the bowl from the water bath, let it cool slightly and stir in the butter and the ground hazelnuts. Put the mixture in the fridge for about 2-3 hours.

Slightly moisten your hands with cold water and form small balls from the mixture, press a whole hazelnut into each praline and finish rolling.
Then roll each praline in the chopped hazelnuts and leave to set again in the fridge for about 1 hour.

TIP: Place in praline moulds to give as a gift or simply enjoy yourself with your coffee.
