Chocolate and hazelnuts pair exceptionally well. Perhaps our palettes have Nutella to thank, but unlike the sweetened spread, I prefer the slight bitterness of dark chocolate contrasted against the mellow, sweet hazelnut. Delicious & unexpected. brownies are a simple, yet savory, dessert option alongside your favorite coffee.

Notes
** If you were unable to source blanched hazelnuts. Use raw hazelnuts & remove bitter skins before chopping. To remove skins, heat oven to 400 degrees. Lay hazelnuts in a single-layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, until skins have darkened, mindful not to burn nuts. Place roasted nuts in a clean kitchen towel & rub until skins flake off. Repeat roast and rub process until all skins are removed.
