Homemade Ferrero Rocher are the mouth watering chocolaty truffles, fully blended with lots of chocolate chips and hazelnut cookies. Ferrero Rocher is a spherical chocolate sweet made by Italian chocolatier Ferrero SpA and Rocher comes from French and means “rock”.

It was introduced in 1982. These chocolates consist of a whole roasted hazelnut encased in a thin wafer shell filled with hazelnut cream including vegetable oil and covered in milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.

Each sweet contains 73 calories, but the most interesting thing is that each and every chocolate is individually packed inside a gold-colored wrapper.
