Chocolate pralines with hazelnuts

this is a very easy recipe!
The most hard thing is not to eat the pralines right away.

Very important is also not to worm the chocolate over 60 degrees. Over that temperature will start to separation the ingredients of the chocolate and will start to burn. I melt the chocolate very slowly using a  hot-water bath. When the water was hot I lower the hit and want to do some other staff in the kitchen, I always can find something to do :)

Ingredients
300g dark chocolate of good quality
180g toasted hazelnuts
2 spoons of sugar

Procedure


Grind a little bit the hazelnuts, joust to have some smaller peace. If you prefer you can also leave them hole or finally grind them if you prefer.


Melt the chocolate in the hot-water bath. You can easily prepare a water-bath, joust take 2 pans one smaller and one bigger. In the bigger pen put some water, then put in the bigger pen the smaller one, in the smaller one the chocolate (as you can see in the picture). Be careful because the smaller pan should not fall in the water!

When the chocolate is melt add 2 spoons of sugar and the hazelnuts and mix together.

With 2 small spoons make a nice pralines on a parchment paper .

Wait until cold, usually 4-5 hours.
