To enjoy, simply unwrap the bar and break off a piece. The whole hazelnuts provide a pleasant crunch with each bite.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining chocolate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the packaging is sealed tightly to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate from absorbing odors. Avoid storing in the refrigerator, as this can cause the chocolate to develop a white bloom.
