Ingredients
3/4 cup hazelnuts, toasted, skin removed, divided
1/4 cup toffee candy bits
1 1/4 cups (10oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
20 (6 oz) caramels, unwrapped, cut in half
40 hazelnuts, whole, toasted, skin removed
Directions
1/4 cup toffee candy bits
1 1/4 cups (10oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
20 (6 oz) caramels, unwrapped, cut in half
40 hazelnuts, whole, toasted, skin removed
Directions
Process 1/4 cup hazelnuts and toffee in food processor or blender until finely ground; set aside. Don't overprices or you'll have oil.
Microwave chocolate chips and cream in small microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 to 1 1/2
minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until most of chocolate is melted. Do not overheat; lumps will melt when stirred. Stir in hazelnut mixture, vanilla and salt until blended. Cover and set aside until cool, about 1 1/2 hours.
Flatten caramel pieces and wrap around one whole hazelnut forming a round ball; repeat. Dice remaining 1/2 cup hazelnuts; set aside.
Form 1 heaping teaspoon chocolate mixture around each caramel and roll in diced hazelnuts. Let
set until firm.
Tip: When handling ganache, work quickly in a cool room.
