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.
These are not only spectacularly delicious, they are also insulin worthy too.
Homemade Ferrero Rocher
My stepson LOVES Ferrero Rocher. Here is my copycat version, using peanuts that are in peanut butter because hazelnuts are pricey.
Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate Chex cereal, crushed
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup malted milk powder
- 1 cup melting chocolate
- 1 tablespoon sugar (mine was gold colorered)
Instructions
- Mix the peanut butter, Chex, powdered sugar, and malted milk powder together.
- Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave safe dish, 30 seconds at a time at 50% power.
- Repeat until the chocolate is melted.
- Cover the balls in chocolate, and while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with decorative sugar.
- The chocolate will harden after 10 minutes.

If you love chocolate, check out my recipe for this skinny chocolate cake. So good!
Do you measure the Chex before or after you crush them.
Sorry I missed this comment, but yes, I measured the chex before crushing.
Its just mouth-watering good. Will try it out this weekend.
Thank you! Let me know what you think. 😁
