Ingredients
- condensed milk – 400 g;
- hazelnuts (or other nuts) – 100 g;
- butter – 50 g;
- cocoa powder – 4 tablespoons.
Preparation
1. First, take 100 grams of hazelnuts. You can use other nuts if you prefer. To make it easier to remove the shells, lightly roast the hazelnuts in a pan. After that, grind the hazelnuts into fine crumbs. We used a kitchen chopper.
2. This is the aromatic hazelnut crumb we got after thorough grinding.
3. Pour 400 grams of condensed milk from the can into a deep saucepan.
4. Add 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the condensed milk.
5. Mix the condensed milk with the cocoa powder until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
6. Place the saucepan with the condensed chocolate mass on the stove and turn on medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring the mass to a boil.
7. Add 50 grams of butter to the condensed chocolate mass. Stir until the butter is completely dissolved.
8. Then, add the crushed nuts to the mass. And mix everything well until homogeneous.
9. Take a suitable container and line it with plastic wrap. Transfer the prepared chocolate-nut mass into it and level it out. Cover the mass with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 1.5-2 hours.
10. Take the mass out of the refrigerator, remove the plastic wrap, and cut the chocolate-nut mass into small squares.
11. Separate the chocolate-nut candies from each other and transfer them to a plate.
12. To give a final touch to our treat, I recommend generously rolling each candy in cocoa powder. This will add a refined chocolate aroma and a pleasant bitterness. After that, the candies made from condensed milk and cocoa are ready to decorate your table and delight your guests with their wonderful taste.
