Chocolate Bar with Hazelnuts and Amaretti

Melted chocolate

10-12 ounces milk or dark chocolate(chopped)
20 hazelnuts
10-12 amaretti cookies

hazelnuts in shells

In a small metal or glass bowl, add the chocolate. Place over another pan filled with a couple of cups of water. Be sure the water does not touch the bowl. Over low heat, bring the water to a boil. Remove pan from stove and melt the chocolate by stirring until creamy.

Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet on low heat, until you smell the aroma of the hazelnuts.  Remove from heat and chop to any size you like.

Crumble the amaretti cookies and mix with hazelnuts.

Transfer the amaretti and nuts to the bowl with melted chocolate.  Pour onto a piece of parchment paper and allow to cool for 1-2 hours.
