Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Nutella Truffles Recipe
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Hazelnuts complement Nutella perfectly, but you can use almonds, pecans, or even leave out nuts if preferred.
Can I use homemade Nutella instead of store-bought?
Yes, homemade Nutella works just as well as long as it has a smooth consistency.

Chill them for at least 30 minutes or until fully set.
