Instructions

Step 1: Chop 8 oz dark chocolate and 8 oz milk chocolate finely and place in separate heatproof bowls.
Step 2: Heat 1 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat immediately.
Step 3: Pour half of the hot cream over the dark chocolate and the other half over the milk chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes to melt, then stir each bowl gently until smooth and glossy ganache forms.
Step 4: Stir 2 tbsp unsalted butter and 1 tsp vanilla extract into each ganache to enrich the texture.
Step 5: Divide ganache into two portions: mix 2 tbsp cocoa powder into the dark chocolate ganache and fold 1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts plus 1/2 tsp sea salt flakes into the milk chocolate ganache.
Step 6: Pour the ganache mixtures into silicone bonbon molds or mini candy trays, smoothing tops with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours until firm.
Step 7: Once set, carefully unmold the bonbons and optionally garnish with fresh raspberries for a refreshing contrast. Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
