Hazelnut Fudge Crack Bars
One of my most popular recipes are my peanut butter crack bars. They have “crack” in the name for a reason - because they are addictingly good. They are so quick, easy, and keep in the freezer forever. So honestly, what isn’t to love?
One combination, though, that I may argue tops the chocolate and peanut butter combo, is chocolate and hazelnut. I. AM. ADDICTED. There is something about it, that can’t be beat. I am not sure what has taken me so long to make a variation of the peanut butter crack bars, with hazelnuts, but I am SO happy I did. So I give you - HAZELNUT FUDGE CRACK BARS.
They have a nutty cacao base and are covered in the dreamiest chocolate hazelnut fudge filling. I used JEM Organics Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, which was a dream. It’s rich, luscious, and the flavor is ON POINT. This is hands down my favorite but butter (you can use DANI20 for a discount! Their other flavors are insane as well!) Then, they are covered in a chocolate topping. So decadent, so easy, and a sure crowd pleaser! I hope you enjoy these and be sure to tag @danishealthyeats on instagram if you give them a go!
