Notes
** I used silicone molds that are shaped perfectly for Reese’s inspired chocolates. These are the ones I used, click here
** This recipe requires hazelnut chocolate spread. I always opt for natural versions of my favorite items. I used ARTISANA hazelnut cacao spread. It tastes just like Nutella! But it’s all natural, organic, no palm oil and full of vitamins from natural cacao.
** The cacao nibs on top are optional. They add not only a fun crunch but a natural chocolate bitterness. So if you’re not a fan please simply omit from the recipe.
