Hazelnut Chocolate Cups (Copycat Reese’s)

In Miami, it’s getting hot outside. I can’t imagine how am I going to survive this summer. And yes, I say the same thing every year. These Hazelnut Chocolate Cups are perfect since they don’t require any baking at all. These Reese’s copycat variations are sweet, creamy, delicious, and full of nutty flavor.

I love making bonbons, chocolates, and delicate little treats when the company comes over. It’s a nice touch that makes them feel welcome. These Hazelnut Chocolate Cups are super easy to make! Even if you’ve never cooked before you will be surprised at how quickly and cool they assemble.

To make it even easier, I am going to show a step-by-step guide on how the Hazelnut Chocolate Cups are made:

Start by lining a small muffin tin with liners. Then melt some chocolate chips and add a little to each crevice:

Using your fingers, make a circular motion into each crevice so the sides and bottom are coated. You can also use a spoon or a small spatula. Personally, I like to use my fingers. It gives me more control. The cups should look like this:

Each cupcake liner is coated on the bottom and sides with the chocolate. After this step, refrigerate it for 10 minutes or so until it hardens.

Meanwhile make the filling using Nutella, powdered sugar, and a little-melted butter (full recipe on the bottom). Add the filling inside a plastic zip-top bag and snip a corner. That will make filling the little cups a little less messy.

You can add as much or as little as you want. I love Nutella so I got a little generous with mine. As you can see below, they don’t look really pretty but you can use the back of a spoon to flatten them a bit so the filling covers all the sides.

All you have to do right now it to cover with the remaining melted chocolate. Just use a spoon to add a blob on top and make a cute little swirl so they look pretty. Refrigerate 20-30 minutes so they can set up nicely.

I decorate them with some chopped hazelnuts. You can decorate any way you’d like to: chopped chocolate, more Nutella or leave them as they are.

And that’s all there is to it! Now time to dig in…
