1 piece (medium) of Dark chocolate (whole hazelnuts) (25 g) has 135 calories. That works out to 540 calories per 100 g. It contains 9.5 g of carbs, 2 g of protein, 9.5 g of fat and 2 g of fiber. Its 0.3 mg of Copper covers 33% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 25 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Dark chocolate (whole hazelnuts) combines cocoa-rich chocolate with intact hazelnuts, so each bite balances a bittersweet taste with a crisp, roasted crunch. It is enjoyed as a small treat on its own, alongside coffee or tea, and can also be chopped over desserts or folded into baking. In Turkey, chocolate is a familiar choice for sharing with guests, while elsewhere it is often served as an after-dinner sweet or a coffee-break snack.
Cocoa and hazelnuts contribute fibre and fats, making this a rich, energy-dense sweet rather than a light snack; it provides 540 calories per 100 g. A modest piece is satisfying, and fresh fruit or unsweetened coffee makes a good pairing.

Above the ideal 4:1 (46.7:1).
It can be part of a balanced diet: cocoa contains flavanols, and hazelnuts provide unsaturated fats. It is still a sweet, energy-dense treat, so its benefits do not make unlimited portions a good idea.
Yes, cocoa naturally contains caffeine as well as theobromine. The amount varies with the chocolate’s cocoa content, so dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts may affect caffeine-sensitive people, especially when eaten later in the day.
Yes, but the whole hazelnuts keep it from becoming a smooth, uniform liquid. For a smooth sauce or coating, remove the nuts before melting; if a chunky texture is useful, melt it gently as it is.
A pale coating is usually fat bloom or sugar bloom, often caused by temperature changes or moisture. It can affect the texture and appearance without making the chocolate unsafe; discard it if there are signs of mold or spoilage.
Keep it sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, away from strong smells and heat. Refrigeration is usually unnecessary and can introduce moisture; if your room is very warm, seal it tightly and let it reach room temperature before opening.
No. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to dogs, and darker chocolate can be especially dangerous. If a dog has eaten any, contact a veterinarian promptly and provide the product details.
Dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts has intact nuts embedded in chocolate, so each bite includes a whole hazelnut. Gianduja is a smooth chocolate-and-hazelnut paste, usually made with finely ground nuts, and has no whole-nut crunch.
Yes. Melt chocolate gently, stir in toasted hazelnuts that have cooled completely, then pour it into a mold to set. Tempering the chocolate helps give the finished pieces a glossy surface and a crisp snap.
Yes, coffee’s roasted bitterness complements the cocoa, while the hazelnuts add a nutty note. Try it with black coffee or espresso; a very sweet coffee drink can make the pairing taste overly sugary.
Yes, it can affect sleep in people who are sensitive to caffeine or theobromine. If you notice that cocoa makes it harder to fall asleep, have dark chocolate with whole hazelnuts earlier in the day rather than close to bedtime.
