Chocolate Covered Tripple Hazelnuts / “Trillingnöt”
I won’t be Impressed by Technology until I can Download Chocolate.
“Trillingnöt” literally means “tripple nut” in Swedish and when we say “trillingnöt” we mean the chocolate covered hazelnut (or three hazelnuts together) that are super known as a Christmas chocolate in Sweden. This chocolate used to be a part of one of the most known Christmas chocolate boxes in Sweden (Alladin & Paradis) but for some reason they just decided to remove it from the box a few years ago. This shocked the whole country because everyone loves the “trillingnöt” so much! But one good thing resulted In the trillingnöt being removed from the bought chocolate box… people started to make their own one, and this year I’m going to teach you how easy it is to make them too!
THIS RECIPE IS:
Vegan
Gluten Free
Can be made without added refined sugar
Suiting for whatever season but in Sweden we serve preferably for Christmas
A typical and very loved Swedish Chocolate
Chocolate Covered Tripple Hazelnuts
INGREDIENTS:
100 g hazelnuts
200 g optional percentage of chocolate
HOW TO MAKE:
Heat oven to 225 degrees C. Spread out the hazelnuts onto a lined baking sheet and place the sheet in the oven, roasting the hazelnuts for 10’.
When the hazelnuts are done, rub the hazelnuts between a kitchen towel so that it’s peel falls off.
Melt the first 100 g chocolate in the microwave oven or preferably by placing a heat resistans bowl with the chocolate over hot simmer water. Stir the chocolate around while it melts but be careful that no water falls into the chocolate.
Pour the whole batch of hazelnuts into the melted chocolate. Take three hazelnuts at a time, spreading off some of the excess chocolate, and place them together on a clean baking sheet. Let them set preferably in the fridge.
Add the remaining chocolate into the bowl and melt again, and make another chocolate coating of the tripple hazelnuts. Let them set in the fridge once again.
If you want to, you can also ripple over some extra chocolate for a better appearance or spread over some sea salt. Sea salt is not part of the traditional “trillingnöt”, but I really like it.
