These look like a popular chocolate treat – you know the one I mean – with a whole hazelnut in the centre!  Ok – soo mine are missing their golden foil wrapping, but they are 11 calories less and nutritionally a lot better for you!  Great for when you fancy a sweet mouthful.  And unlike Ferrero Rocher, you can easily find one is sufficient.
