Hazelnut Cocoa Balls

Overview

Teacher Meng’s hazelnut cocoa balls, in my opinion, are actually the cocoa version of Jun’s hazelnut cookies, just rolled into a ball shape. There is no ready-made hazelnut powder, so as usual, freshly beaten hazelnut kernels are used. Therefore, slight modifications were made in the materials and operations.
