Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped
  • ½ cup rice crisps, for crunch
  • 8 oz dark chocolate, melted
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, for smoothness
  • ¼ tsp sea salt, to enhance flavor

Feel free to swap the dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate for a different flavor profile. For a nut-free version, replace hazelnuts with sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crunchy Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped hazelnuts and rice crisps. This mixture will give the truffles their signature crunch.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is smooth and glossy. Be cautious not to overheat, as chocolate can burn quickly.

Step 3: Coat the Mixture

Pour the melted chocolate over the hazelnut and rice crisp mixture. Use a spatula to mix until every piece is evenly coated with chocolate.

Step 4: Shape the Truffles

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined tray to set.

Step 5: Sprinkle with Sea Salt

While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for a perfect sweet-salty balance.

Step 6: Refrigerate

Place the tray in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, allowing the truffles to firm up and hold their shape.

Equipment

Notes

  1. Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh hazelnuts and high-quality chocolate make a significant difference in taste.
  2. Mix Well: Ensure that every bite is coated evenly with chocolate for a consistent taste.
  3. Sprinkle Salt Just Before Cooling: This keeps the salt on the surface for a perfect flavor finish.
