Ferrero Rocher chocolate

It has a whole hazelnut at the centre, surrounded by hazelnut chocolate and a crisp wafer, with a coating of chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.

Keep them wrapped in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and heat so the chocolate stays firm. If the room is very warm, seal them in an airtight container in the fridge and let them come towards room temperature before serving.

Yes. Chop them and scatter them over brownies, cupcakes or ice cream just before serving; baking them inside a cake can soften the wafer and melt the chocolate coating.

Serve them with coffee or use them to finish a chocolate dessert, such as a cheesecake or mousse. Their hazelnut and wafer layers also add crunch when chopped over ice cream.

For a similar chocolate-and-hazelnut crunch, use chopped hazelnuts folded into chocolate ganache, with wafer pieces added just before serving. A plain chocolate praline works when you do not need the crisp wafer layer.

No: they contain hazelnuts, and the wafer also contains wheat. Check the ingredients on the specific pack for other allergens, since recipes and allergen information can change.

The whole hazelnut in the centre is a choking hazard for young children. Do not give them the chocolate whole; remove the nut and make sure any pieces you offer are soft and small enough for the child to manage safely.
