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.

Directions
Hazelnut Praline Hearts
- 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.
