Great tasty recipe thanks


All I could think of when I read this was Ferro Rocher's! Does it taste similar?


I know what you mean , but the flavor is mostly nuts than chocolate. The cake is really rich and nutty and different but my guests loved it.


Thanks! It sure does sound good. I'll have to try it out!


I am THE hazelnut lover of the universe! You just made my century, midge.. five five five five five!
Thanks, Lorraine
