Cocoa Hazelnut Rochers

Cocoa Hazelnut Rochers

• 12 Apr 2009

Happy Easter/Passover, whichever festival you're celebrating. It's always a challenge looking for tasty morsels to bake which don't require flour. 



When I found a recipe for cocoa almond rochers in a 2008 issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine, it filled the bill - a sweet morsel that combined nuts, chocolate but without flour.



As always I needed to tinker with the recipe so in my version, I halved all the ingredients but doubled the cocoa powder, used toasted hazelnuts instead of the almonds, lowered the cooking temperature substantially but doubled the cooking time! 



I think they taste and look pretty good. You could also substitute the nuts with the equivalent weight of chopped hazelnut chocolate.

Happy eating,
