- ½ cup Nutella
- ¼ cup raw hazelnuts
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the hazelnuts in the oven and roast them for approximately 5 minutes. Then allow them to cool off and use your hands to remove the skin.
- Process the hazelnuts in a food processor.
- In a microwavable bowl, combine Nutella and butter, and microwave for about 30 seconds or until the butter has melted. Stir until well combined.

- In another bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.

- Add the roasted hazelnuts to the mold.
