Ingredients

• 120 g dark chocolate
• 80 ml banana puree
• A pinch of cinnamon
• A few drops of vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• 75 g roasted whole hazelnuts 15-16 for the centers, remaining roughly chopped for rolling
• 50 g additional dark chocolate for drizzling optional

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate:

• Melt the 120 g of dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth.

Blend Ingredients:

• In a blender, combine the melted chocolate, banana puree, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Chill the Mixture:

• Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and let it chill for about 2 hours to firm up.

Form the Candies:

• Once chilled, take a small amount of the mixture and flatten it in your hand. Place a whole hazelnut in the center, then mold the mixture around the nut to form a ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Roll in Hazelnuts:

• Roll the chocolate-covered balls in the chopped hazelnuts until well coated.

Optional Drizzle:

• If using, melt the additional 50 g of dark chocolate and drizzle it over the hazelnut-covered candies for an extra touch.

Set:

• Place the candies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate until set.
