Ingredients in this recipe
- almond flour
- cacao powder
- hazelnuts
- creamy drippy almond butter (Ensure it's nice and drippy. If it's thick and lumpy, it will not mix well.)
- pure maple syrup
- melted dark chocolate for drizzling (optional)
Do the hazelnuts have to be roasted and peeled?
Nope. We don't have time for that. Just throw them into the food processor!
Because nuts can be very expensive, I wanted to recommend purchasing them from Trader Joe's. They sell basically every type of nut and they are much cheaper than most grocery stores. I particularly love buying cashews, hazelnuts and macadamia nuts from there. You know I love nuts and they are included in A LOT of my recipes, so I thought I would mention that.
