GREAT RECIPE. I DID MODIFY IT THE SECOND TIME I MADE IT THOUGH, AND ELIMINATED THE HAZELNUTS INSIDE, AND ADDED ORANGE EXTRACT TO THE MIXTURE. A HUGE HIT!!

Can a healthier dark chocolate be substituted for the milk chocolate?

Have made these for a few years. They are a hit. They compare to Ferre Roche
