Description
This slice embodies the classic chocolate and hazelnut combo that we all know and love. The base is a 4-ingredient rum ball-esque mixture but richer in cocoa and of course, without the rum. The topping is a generous sprinkling of crushed hazelnuts. Does this scream Nutella? You’ll have to find out for yourself 😉
