Ferrero Rocher Truffles

We seriously can’t go past a Ferrero Rocher (or 3) for a decadent treat, so using those little gold-wrapped bites of deliciousness as inspiration for our own home-made gourmet chocolate truffles seemed like a no-brainer. 

We always love highlighting the nutritional benefits of the ingredients used in our recipes, and treats are no exception. Chocolate is a rich source of polyphenol antioxidants. Hazelnuts are a great source of Manganese, Vitamin E and Magnesium. Maple is a source of Manganese and Riboflavin (one of the B vitamins) and also provides antioxidant polyphenols. Overall this recipe is a great source of healthy fats and is much lower in sugar than most chocolatey treats!

  • 2 tbsp Collagen Hot Chocolate
  • 1 cup smooth hazelnut butter (or your fave nut butter)
  • 4 ounces whole hazelnuts, skins removed
  • 2 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • Pinch of Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 4.5 ounces Dark Chocolate Buttons

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread the whole hazelnuts, in a single layer, evenly over a baking tray. Roast in oven for 10 minutes or until the hazelnuts are aromatic and lightly toasted.
  2. Set aside 12 hazelnuts and crush the remaining hazelnuts by pulsing in a food processor or chopping them with a knife until small pieces form.
  3. Place nut butter, Collagen Hot Chocolate maple syrup, and salt to a bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Shape into 12 balls, then place a hazelnut into the centre of the ball. 
  5. Place the chopped hazelnuts in a bowl and roll the balls in the chopped nuts until fully coated.
  6. Place them on a tray and into the fridge to set.
  7. Melt chocolate buttons over a double boiler (bowl placed over a saucepan of boiling water), allow to cool for a few minutes.
  8. Drop 1 to 2 truffles at a time into the melted chocolate and swirl them around.
  9. Use a fork to lift the truffles out of the chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
  10. Place the coated truffles on a wire rack over a tray covered with a piece of baking paper. 
  11. Repeat until all of the truffles are covered with chocolate coating.
  12. Place in the fridge to set.
