Chocolate Hazelnut Croissant
A dark chocolate covered caramelized hazelnut surrounded by white chocolate croissant hazelnut filling all in a dark chocolate shell.
The first hazelnut trees from Europe were planted in Oregon around 1858. Since that time Oregon has become the largest commercial producer of hazelnuts in the U.S, producing roughly 99% of the U.S. commercial hazelnut crop today. Given our large production of hazelnuts here in Oregon, it feels hazelnuts are widely underused in our culture and cuisine. When I lived in Italy, one of my favorite activities was to visit a local coffee shop and enjoy a chocolate hazelnut pastry (usually a croissant). To this day certain smells and tastes bring me right back to those cobble stone piazzas with birds looking for crumbs and locals and tourists alike out enjoying their day. With a whole local chocolate covered hazelnut in the center, surrounded by caramelized croissant ganache, this chocolate hazelnut croissant bonbon was inspired by what we in Oregon have to offer in combination with my memories of Europe. We hope it will inspire you to visit your local sites, relax in exotic destinations and share your stories with others.
