Frequently Asked Questions About Chocolate Covered Hazelnuts
How are chocolate covered hazelnuts made?
Chocolate covered hazelnuts are made by coating whole hazelnuts in melted chocolate and letting the coating set. Commercial versions may have one or several chocolate layers. Dry, roasted nuts help the chocolate cling and harden more evenly.
Are chocolate covered hazelnuts good for you?
They provide some nutrients from hazelnuts, including unsaturated fats and fibre, but the chocolate coating adds sugar and energy. They can fit as an occasional treat, though plain hazelnuts are a less sugary everyday choice.
How should you store chocolate covered hazelnuts?
Keep chocolate covered hazelnuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong odours. Heat can soften or melt the coating, while moisture may affect its texture and appearance.
Can you freeze chocolate covered hazelnuts?
Yes, you can freeze chocolate covered hazelnuts in a sealed, freezer-safe container. Let the closed container come to room temperature before opening it; this reduces condensation on the chocolate, which can leave spots or a dull finish.
Can dogs eat chocolate covered hazelnuts?
No, do not give chocolate covered hazelnuts to dogs. Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs, and the rich coating and nuts can also upset their stomachs. Contact a veterinarian promptly if your dog has eaten some.
Why does chocolate fall off chocolate covered hazelnuts?
Chocolate can fall off when the hazelnuts are damp, oily, or too warm, or when the coating has not set properly. For homemade batches, use completely dry nuts and let each coated hazelnut cool undisturbed until the chocolate is firm.
Can you use chocolate covered hazelnuts in baking?
Yes, chocolate covered hazelnuts can be chopped and added to cookies, brownies, or cake toppings. Add them near the end of mixing or use them as a topping so the chocolate coating stays in distinct pieces rather than melting throughout the batter.
Are chocolate covered hazelnuts suitable for people with diabetes?
Chocolate covered hazelnuts contain a sweet coating that can raise blood glucose; the hazelnuts do not cancel out that effect. If you have diabetes, ask your clinician or dietitian how they fit into your individual meal plan.
Do chocolate covered hazelnuts cause weight gain?
Eating them frequently or in large portions can contribute to weight gain because the combination of nuts and chocolate is energy-dense. A small, intentional serving is easier to include than eating them straight from a large package.
Are chocolate covered hazelnuts the same as gianduja?
No. Chocolate covered hazelnuts are usually whole hazelnuts coated in chocolate, while gianduja is a smooth chocolate-and-hazelnut paste or confection. Their textures and uses differ, even though both combine hazelnut and chocolate.

What is Chocolate Covered Hazelnuts?
Chocolate Covered Hazelnuts are whole or roughly chopped hazelnuts coated in chocolate, combining a familiar nut with a sweet confectionery shell. They are sold as a snack or treat in many countries, and are also easy to make at home by dipping roasted hazelnuts in melted chocolate.
The coating is sweet and smooth or crisp, depending on the chocolate, while the hazelnut inside adds a toasted flavour and crunch. Enjoy them by the handful as a snack, serve them with coffee, or use a few to top ice cream and desserts. They are energy-dense, with much of their fat coming from the nuts and much of their carbohydrate from the chocolate. A small portion alongside fruit or plain yoghurt keeps the treat in proportion.
