From Ayer, Massachusetts, Debra Pedrazzi notes, I've given these delectable candies with a nutty surprise inside to teachers and friends. Ingredients:
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons baking cocoa |
4 milk chocolate candy bars (1.55 ounces each) |
6 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream |
24 whole hazelnuts |
1 cup ground hazelnuts, toasted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, sift together confectioners' sugar and cocoa; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt candy bars and butter. Add cream and reserved cocoa mixture. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until mixture is thickened and smooth. Pour into an 8-in. square dish. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Using a melon baller or spoon, shape candy into 1-in. balls; press a hazelnut into each. Reshape balls and roll in ground hazelnuts. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
