Description

Great, simple dessert recipe that can be made in advance, frozen, and served the day of.  Great for kids & adults and for every occasion.

INGREDIENTS
  • 3 tablespoons Butter, melted
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Hazelnut Butter, dry roasted (freshly ground at store or home)
  • 1.5 cup Crisped Rice Cereal, plain, crushed (measure first, then coarsely crush with rolling pin)
  • 2 cups Chocolate Chips (milk or dark, semi-sweet)
DIRECTIONS
    1. Using a spatula, mix together in a large bowl the melted butter and hazelnut butter.
    2. Add powdered sugar and crushed crisped rice cereal and mix until well combined.
    3. Form into one inch balls (easier to use a small 1 ¼" scoop)
    4. Place the balls on a wax paper-lined cookie tray with raised sides and chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before coating in chocolate.
    5. Melt chocolate in a double broiler or microwave (if using microwave, heat 30 seconds at a time and stir - repeat process until fully melted & smooth).
    6. Use a toothpick to pickup balls and dip into the melted chocolate.
    7. Place the coated balls (without the toothpick) onto a separate wax paper-lined cookie tray with raised sides, let chocolate dry/set, cover with wax paper & kitchen towel and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to fully set.
    8. Remove from freezer for about 30 minutes before serving.  Can be placed in a storage bag or container in the freezer for a few weeks or up to a month - just pull out the amount needed to let thaw out on counter.
    9. Enjoy!
