Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine Nutella, crushed hazelnuts, and crushed graham crackers.
  2. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick, dough-like consistency. If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
  3. Using a small scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Aim for about 1-inch diameter for each truffle.
  4. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch each other.
  5. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Use a fork to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
