Hazelnuts are a delicious nut that pair well with chocolate and coffee. They are very popular in Europe and are becoming more popular here in the US. For more info on hazelnuts (read: I’m too tired to write my own little ditty about them) head on over to Wikipedia.
I’ll never forget my first experience with hazelnuts. I think Ferrero Rocher are still my favorite nut truffle. I like them anytime of day or night, anywhere, with anyone. I just love them.

I love hazelnuts! My favorite things are the nuts themselves, hazelnut flavored syrup in steamers, and hazelnut Italian ice. Thanks for spreading the word on these delicious treats!
Burgerville in Portland Oregon has a Hazelnut Chocolate milkshake that is seasonal. And to die for…..
My obsession with hazelnuts is all consuming. I could NOT live in this life without them. No other nutmeat fills me with such desire. I wish I had an ice cream maker so that I could make the recipe you listed below, oh my stars yes.
