No-Bake Chocolate Hazelnut Logs

Prep time: 5 minutes | Chilling time: 30 minutes | Servings: 8-10 logs

Ingredients

The Base:

  • 250g Digestive biscuits or Maria cookies (crushed into small chunks)

  • 100g Roasted hazelnuts or peanuts (chopped)

  • 3 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/2 cup Condensed milk (add more if the mixture is too dry)

  • 50g Melted butter

The Coating:

  • 200g Milk chocolate or Dark chocolate

  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for shine and smoothness)

  • 50g Finely chopped roasted nuts (hazelnuts work best for that Ferrero taste)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, chopped nuts, and cocoa powder. Pour in the melted butter and condensed milk. Stir until everything is well combined and holds together like a dough.

  2. Shape: Take a portion of the mixture and roll it into a log shape (roughly 3-4 inches long). Repeat until all the mixture is used.

  3. Chill: Place the logs on a tray lined with parchment paper and pop them in the freezer for about 10–15 minutes to firm up.

  4. Prepare the Glaze: Melt the chocolate and oil together (either in a microwave in 30-second bursts or over a double boiler). Stir in the finely chopped nuts.

  5. Coat: Using a fork, dip each chilled log into the chocolate-nut mixture until fully coated. Place back on the parchment paper.

  6. Set: Let them sit in the fridge for another 15 minutes until the chocolate shell is snappy.

Pro Tips

  • Texture: Don’t crush the biscuits into a fine powder; you want those visible white chunks shown in your photo for a nice crunch.

  • Variation: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt to the chocolate glaze to elevate the flavor.
