Ingredients

• 1 c. whole hazelnuts, plus 24 whole hazelnuts for candy centers
• 1 c. crushed wafer cookie crumbs
• 1 c. chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Nutella, that has been refrigerated for at least 2 hours, or overnight
• 3 c. dark chocolate chips
• 2 T. coconut oil

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place hazelnuts on a dry baking sheet; bake 12-15 minutes, giving the pan a shake once or twice during baking time.
3. Let nuts cool; rub nuts in a clean dish towel to remove the bitter skins. Grind/pulse nuts in a food processor until finely ground, but don't grind them too far or they'll turn into hazelnut butter. Remove nuts to a bowl.
