I created this recipe because my sister-in-law really enjoys hazelnuts and is always asking me to bake with them. A plate of these rich, chocolaty bites makes a great gift, too. Ingredients:
1 package (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips, divided |
5 tablespoons butter |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1-1/4 cups ground hazelnuts, toasted |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
topping: |
3/4 cup nutella |
36 whole blanched hazelnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt 1 cup chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, beat eggs and brown sugar. Stir in vanilla. In a small bowl, combine the ground hazelnuts, flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining chips.
2. Fill paper-lined mini muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely. Spread with Nutella; top each with a hazelnut. Yield: 3 dozen.
