Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170 g) semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 ounces (57 g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (8 ounces / 227 g) heavy cream
  • 2 ounces (57 g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 10 ounces (285 g) chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 5 ounces (140 g) feuilletine (about 2 cups)
  • 8 ounces (227 g) roasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped
  • Optional: whole toasted hazelnuts or hazelnut praline for topping

Instructions

  1. Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt semisweet and bittersweet chocolates until smooth.
  3. In a separate saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over melted chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.
  4. Whisk in butter until ganache is smooth and glossy.
  5. In another bowl, mix chocolate-hazelnut spread, feuilletine, and chopped hazelnuts. Press mixture firmly into prepared pan as the base layer.
  6. Pour ganache over the base and smooth the surface. Add optional toppings if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
  8. Lift from the pan using parchment, and slice into bars with a sharp knife.

Notes

  • Use milk chocolate for a sweeter ganache.
  • Swap hazelnuts for almonds, pistachios, or pecans.
  • Feuilletine can be replaced with puffed rice or crushed wafer cookies.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt or cocoa nibs on top for added texture.
  • Cut bars after chilling for clean slices.
