How to Make Hazelnut Nest

I am a big fan of desserts with hazelnuts, so I decided to prepare very tasty hazelnut nests. It is a quick and simple cookie that is prepared without baking, and it is perfect for various holidays when you always want as many nice sweet things on the table as possible.

You can also make them with store-bought toasted chopped hazelnuts, but this time I prepared them at home and toasted them myself in the oven. Not only will it not take too much time, but the hazelnuts prepared in this way will be tastier and more special than any other from the store.

Hazelnut Nest – A Proven Combination For All Occasions

The hazelnut nests themselves are very easy to make. The mixture contains, among other things, ground toasted hazelnuts, butter (or margarine), chocolate and ground biscuits, which is a proven combination that is also used in many other no-bake cookies.

What makes hazelnut nests special is their rolling in chopped toasted hazelnuts, and making a hole in the upper part of the formed balls. Some of the store-bought hazelnut creams are put in them, and you can choose whichever one suits you best (I filled them with Nutella).

The final result is an extremely delicious dessert that is perfect for various festive occasions such as Easter or Christmas, but also anytime you want a delicious sweet snack since it is so easy to make. Hazelnut nests are ideal for snacking with your afternoon coffee, but, to be completely honest, they are so good that sometimes it is difficult to refrain from eating five or six cookies at a time.
