These Hazelnut Praliné Hearts are a rich, melt-in-your-mouth confection that balances deep nutty flavor with creamy sweetness. A smooth hazelnut praliné center is blended with Belgian white chocolate for a soft, sliceable texture, then cut into elegant heart shapes and enrobed in silky milk chocolate.

Hazelnut Praliné Paste provides intense roasted hazelnut flavor and natural richness. Its smooth consistency makes it ideal for molded or cut confections while delivering a deep, nut-forward profile. Belgian White Chocolate stabilizes the praliné, giving the center structure and a creamy, Reese’s-style texture that sets cleanly without becoming brittle. This allows for easy cutting, consistent shapes, and a smooth bite.
Line a 9 × 13-inch tray with parchment paper, leaving excess overhang for easy removal.
Combine the hazelnut praliné paste and Belgian White Chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring frequently, until fully melted, smooth, and fluid.
Pour the mixture into the prepared tray and spread evenly to approximately ½-inch thickness.
Allow the slab to set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until firm but still pliable for cutting.
Lift the slab from the tray using the parchment. Cut into heart shapes with a cookie cutter.
Dip each praliné heart into tempered milk chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Assembly
Place dipped hearts on parchment and allow the chocolate to fully crystallize before packaging or serving.
