Ferrero Rocher

The chocolate stash of Vicky is fast depleting!  Miguel opened a box of Ferrero chocolate balls yesterday, and the whole box was gone in 30 minutes...  It was our first time to try the coconut variety (shown on the right with the silver wrapper), and both Vicky & I were pleasantly surprised at the taste and texture.  This Italian creation is such a wonderful midnight treat!  Interestingly, in the corporate world, the Ferrero group is known to be very secretive of its hazelnut recipes (the company also manufactures Nutella, the spreadable hazelnut creme filling).  Like a lot of European chocolatiers, the company, which opened in the post-war years, is still run by family members.
