I discovered these hazelnut and chocolate beauties quite by accident. I was trying to make hazelnut flour but left the nuts going in the food processor for too long and ended up with hazelnut butter. I added cocoa powder and coconut oil and came up with a beautiful chocolate spread alternative, which has lasted for over a month in the fridge without going off.
These are so delicious, popped in a jar with a ribbon on, they’re easily made into gifts too.

Ingredients
For the hazelnut chocolate "sauce":
- 75g hazelnuts
- 5g cocoa(feel free to adjust this for a more or less chocolatey result)
- 20g coconut oil
For the Bliss Balls:
- 100g hazelnuts
- 150g dates
- 45g oats
Instructions
Thermomix Instructions
- Blend the first set of hazelnuts to a fine crumb speed 4, 5 seconds
- Add the cocoa and coconut oil and mix on speed 9, 90 seconds
- Add the remaining hazelnuts, dates, and oats.
- Mix well about speed 4/ 20 seconds.
- The mixture looks like loose crumbs when you're done. Take a small handful, and press it together, then roll into a ball.
- You can eat it right away, but put it aside to allow the coconut oil to hold it all together, and it'll be nicer cold too.

Homemade ferrero and raffaello are my favorite homemade sweets
With all the respect for original Ferrero Rocher, it is nowhere as good as the homemade is 🙂

I am so glad you like it 🙂 It’s a favourite here too 🙂
Can i make these without a thermomix?

Absolutely, but you’ll need a food processor that can chop nuts. I’ve done similar in a coffee bean grinder, but just making smaller batches and combining them in a bowl. If you have a food processor that can chop nuts you’ll be fine though. I suppose you could even crush them by hand if you were so inclined! Hope you enjoy them!
This was amazing, I will be making these on weekly bases!!
