Chocolate Covered Hazelnut

I looked inside the cabinet and saw a couple of cooking chocolate bars of 250g each. There are some grounded almond, icing sugar, and few other stuffs too. Hmmm...

I went to the nearest baking shop at Melawati, and get myself a kilo of whole hazel nut. I love hazelnut ever since I bought those honey covered hazelnut during my last trip to Melbourne.

I took 300g of hazelnut, and mixed it with about 50g of icing sugar and 100g of grounded almond. I pour a bit of water, just enough to mix them all. Then I set my oven to 180C to roast the hezelnut.

Then, I boiled some water in a big pot, and put in 1 and half bar of white chocolate in a smaller pot and let it melted.

Once the hazelnut roasted (which took a good 20 minutes), I poured the hazelnut mixture into a mixing bowl, and pour the melted white choholate onto it and started mixing them vigorously.

Then, while they are still soft, I put the chocolate covered hazelnut onto a metal tray, 1 nut at a time until they all finished. I made 2 tray, and freeze them inside the refrigerator.

Within 30 minutes, they are ready and yummy.... hehehe...

That's definitely my first time. I still have 700g of hazelnut for my next try, and that time, I'll cut down the sugar and use a dark chocolate instead. Also, to roast hazelnut, it is better to preheat the oven at 300C and let the hazelnut roasted for 5-8 minutes. Hazelnut will taste better that way...

Chocolatty nuts, anyone??
