Milk Chocolate Double Dipped Hazelnuts
What it is
These are whole roasted hazelnuts that have been enrobed in two layers of smooth milk chocolate. The first layer provides a base coating, and the second layer ensures a generous and even finish. The roasting process brings out the natural nutty flavor of the hazelnuts, which is then complemented by the sweetness and creaminess of the milk chocolate. Each piece offers a satisfying crunch followed by a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate experience.
How people cook with it
These chocolate-covered nuts are a delightful treat enjoyed on their own or as an addition to various desserts.

- Add to a cheese board
- Garnish ice cream sundaes
- Incorporate into baked goods
These chocolate-covered hazelnuts are ready to eat straight from the package. They are perfect for a quick indulgence when you crave something sweet and crunchy. For a more elaborate presentation, they can be artfully arranged on a dessert platter or used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. Their rich flavor also makes them a welcome addition to a charcuterie or cheese board, providing a sweet counterpoint to savory elements. Consider crushing them slightly to sprinkle over yogurt or oatmeal for added texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other chocolate-covered nuts, the double dipping ensures a thicker, more consistent chocolate shell. The specific type of milk chocolate used contributes a particular sweetness and creamy texture that may differ from other brands or varieties. The roasting of the hazelnut itself also impacts its final flavor profile.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a classic and satisfying chocolate and nut confection.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate from melting or becoming chalky, store the remaining hazelnuts in a cool, dry place. Ensure the package is sealed tightly after opening. Avoid storing them in humid environments or direct sunlight, as this can affect the texture and taste of both the chocolate and the nuts.
