My stepson Joe LOVES Ferrero Rocher.  It became a joke every birthday and Christmas to get him a giant package.  I think he’ll love my homemade Ferrero Rocher!

The first question that I know I will get asked is “Biz, there are no hazelnuts in your version!”  My recipe uses crunchy peanut butter which is still just as delicious and way less expensive than hazelnuts.

With a few simple ingredients, this recipe is great for a hostess gift, a gift for neighbors or on your next dessert table this holiday season.  The malted milk powder is delicious!  I found it at Walmart.

The best way to get this incorporated was just to get my hands in there to mix it up.  When making the balls, squeeze the dough so that it holds it’s shape.

My stepson LOVES Ferrero Rocher. Here is my copycat version, using peanuts that are in peanut butter because hazelnuts are pricey.

  2. Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish, 30 seconds at a time at 50% power.
