Ingredients you'll need:

Almond flour: 1/2 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder: 1/4 cup
Powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice: 1/4 cup
Coconut oil, melted: 1/2 cup

U.S.A. Metric

Instructions:

Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

In a large bowl, combine hazelnut flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, and powdered erythritol. Mix well.

Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, dough-like mixture forms.

Fold in chopped hazelnuts and sugar-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

If desired, press whole hazelnuts gently on top of the mixture for decoration.

Place the baking pan in the freezer and chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm and set.

Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into bars or squares of your desired size.

Store the Ferrero Rocher-inspired freezer bars in an airtight container in the freezer. They will keep well for up to 1 month.

Tips for Perfect Freezer Bars

Sweetener Options: Adjust the amount of sweetener based on your preference for sweetness. Taste the mixture before freezing and add more sweetener if desired.

Decorations: Feel free to drizzle melted sugar-free chocolate on top of the bars before freezing for an extra touch of decadence.

Variations: Experiment with different nuts or nut butters to customize the flavor profile of these freezer bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use Hazelnut Butter Instead of Hazelnut Flour?

You can substitute hazelnut butter for part of the coconut oil if desired, but it may alter the texture of the bars slightly.

Are These Freezer Bars Keto-Friendly?
