Notes

• If you want to blanch hazelnuts yourself, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, add 3tbsp of baking soda, and boil the hazelnuts for around 2-3 minutes. Once done, drain the hazelnuts and transfer to an ice bath. The skins should be easy to peel off.
• You don’t need to toast the blanched hazelnuts, but it does help bring out the hazelnut flavor more.
• Store the bars in the fridge for up to 5 days or in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to a month.
