Hazelnut Truffles

Coral_Jayne's Note:

We made these for a FHE treat. Easy, and fun to make with the kids.

• Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 2 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 48 truffles

• 300 ml sweetened condensed milk
• 240 ml semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 240 ml chocolate hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
• 300 ml hazelnuts (optional)
• 120 ml cocoa
• 120 ml powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Melt sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips and hazelnut spread in medium sized heavy bottomed pot over medium low heat until blended.
2. Finely chop and stir in hazelnuts, if using.
3. Let stand to cool for 2-3 hours.
4. Using a melon scoop, roll cooled filling to desired size.
5. Roll truffles in cocoa or powdered sugar to finish.
6. **Unused filling can be tightly wrapped in plastic and stored in fridge for up to three months. Unwrap and let stand at room temperature to avoid condensation contamination.

Yet another recipe I made to serve a group I host each month, & THESE WERE GREATLY APPRECIATED by all! They're not only great eating, but also fun to make! This is definitely a keeper of a recipe, & I expect to make them a few times during the up-coming winter holidays! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
