6. Make chocolate topping:
7. Heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chopped chocolate and stir until melted. Add butter and stir again. Cool.
8. To assemble:
9. Make a small hole in the bottom of each cream puff and fill it with caramel sauce. Dip each into chocolate mixture and place on a waxed paper to set. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. Decorate a serving platter with whipped cream rosettes and arrange cream puffs. Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce over the whipped cream in the platter.
