Two of my favorite ingredients - chocolate and hazelnuts!
Ohhh yeahhh.
The recipe is not mine, so I can't share it with you.
(It's by raw- food chef, Matthew Kenney.)
These are the ingredients it called for.
Here are the first ingredients I used, along with my food-processor.
Since everything was 'liquid', I'll use my BlendTec Blender the next time.
I love that blender!
Here are some stats:
Commercial-quality, 1,560-watt, 3 horse-power motor !!
Pre-programmed blending cycles, digital touch-pad controls,
auto shut-off. And much more -
Which I'm too lazy to type.
These are the next ingredients on the list.
I added them to the others - and gave them a little spin too.
Then I chopped-up some hazelnuts.
It became boring, so I poured them into my BlendTec and 'pulsed' a few times.
I placed them in a bowl and folded them into the chocolate.
Almost ready!
I placed some in two pie-tins,
and popped them into the fridge for 15 minutes.
(There was a lot left over. No complaints here!)
The end result of Matthew's were little squares, like Brownies.
But I wanted to put it in those cute little, foil candy-cups -
So I decided not to cut it after all.
I rolled them into little balls instead -
And stuck a hazelnut on the top of each one.
TA DAAA!!!!
But then there's always this.
And this.
And even more of this.
But then - there's this!!
But, no matter what anyone says...
The best part is still - THIS!!
"I polished off the last of the Halloween candy today.
I had every intention of putting the leftover in the freezer,
but my husband said, "Why? You'll just break a tooth,
or buy a chain saw."

Why hot water?
There are SO many things to love!
I love "Followers" and comments too!
(Thank you!)
