1 piece (medium) of Hazelnut dark chocolate (25 g) has 135 calories. That works out to 540 calories per 100 g. It contains 9.5 g of carbs, 1.8 g of protein, 9.8 g of fat and 1.9 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.
Hazelnut dark chocolate combines dark chocolate with whole or chopped hazelnuts, which add a crisp bite to the smooth, cocoa-rich base. The balance of bitterness and sweetness varies by bar, as does the amount of hazelnut.
It is commonly broken into squares and enjoyed on its own, with coffee or tea, or as a small after-dinner treat. The nuts and cocoa make it a relatively rich snack, with some fibre and protein; 100 g provides 540 calories. A modest piece alongside fresh fruit can make a satisfying snack without turning it into a large dessert.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Hazelnut dark chocolate contains cocoa compounds and nutrients from hazelnuts, but it is still a sweet with substantial fat and often added sugar. A modest piece can fit into a varied diet; it is not a health food to eat without limit.
Yes, hazelnut dark chocolate contains some caffeine because cocoa naturally contains it. The amount varies with the chocolate’s cocoa content, so people who are sensitive to caffeine may want to avoid eating it close to bedtime.
No, hazelnut dark chocolate is unsafe for dogs because cocoa contains theobromine, which dogs cannot clear efficiently. If your dog eats any, contact a veterinarian promptly and share the product, estimated amount, and time eaten.
Store hazelnut dark chocolate in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong-smelling foods. In hot weather, seal it in an airtight container before refrigerating, then let it warm while still wrapped to prevent condensation.
Hazelnut dark chocolate can develop a white or grey coating when cocoa butter or sugar moves to the surface, often after temperature changes or damp storage. This bloom is usually a quality issue rather than spoilage, though the texture may be grainy.
Yes, hazelnut dark chocolate can be melted for baking, but the hazelnut pieces remain solid and may make a smooth glaze or ganache lumpy. Melt it gently over barely simmering water or in short microwave bursts, stirring often.
To make hazelnut dark chocolate at home, stir roasted, cooled hazelnuts into melted dark chocolate and spread the mixture in a lined tray or mould. Tempering the chocolate before adding the nuts helps it set with a glossy finish and a clean snap.
Yes, hazelnut dark chocolate can raise blood sugar because it contains carbohydrates, including sugars in many recipes. The effect varies by product and portion; if you manage diabetes, use your own glucose response and care plan to guide portions.
Yes, regularly eating more hazelnut dark chocolate than your body uses can contribute to weight gain because it is energy-dense. Having a small piece instead of eating from the bar makes portions easier to keep consistent.
Yes, you can freeze hazelnut dark chocolate, although freezing may dull its texture or cause surface bloom. Wrap it tightly, place it in an airtight container, and thaw it while still wrapped so condensation does not form on the chocolate.
