Does hazelnut Afyon Turkish delight contain whole hazelnuts?
It may contain whole hazelnuts, chopped pieces or smaller fragments, depending on the maker. Check the cut surface or product description if the size of the nuts matters to you; recipes are not identical across brands.

What is Hazelnut Afyon Turkish Delight?
Hazelnut Afyon Turkish delight is a regional variety of lokum associated with Afyonkarahisar in western Turkey. Its base is cooked sugar and starch, with hazelnuts folded in for a nutty flavour and a little crunch against the characteristic soft, chewy texture.
In Turkey it is commonly offered with tea, served to guests and shared during celebrations; it also pairs well with Turkish coffee. Outside Turkey, it makes a small sweet alongside coffee or tea, or can be cut into bite-size pieces for a dessert platter. It is mostly carbohydrate and sugar, while the hazelnuts contribute some fat and a modest amount of protein. Because it is quite sweet, a small piece is often enough after a meal.
