The recipe for peanut pralines with spreadable cream and no baking is truly delicious.
Very easy to make, they are perfect for any occasion; for Father’s Day or Mother’s Day; Grandparents’ Day or Valentine’s Day .. and they are definitely appreciated at birthday party buffets.
The ingredients needed are dry biscuits, obviously unsalted peanuts, cocoa, and spreadable cream; while the coating is made with good milk chocolate and hazelnut or almond crumble. Everything goes into the chopper, then you form the balls and dip them in the chocolate. Easy peasy.
I made them for my colleagues at the office, who often ask me to bring some treats to enjoy during the coffee break and, of course, they were gone in no time.
So, as I often say, sometimes it doesn’t take much to make something good to share with those we care about!
Now let’s go to the kitchen and make the recipe for peanut pralines together.

Ingredients
- 4.23 oz peanuts
- 2.82 oz dry biscuits (like oro saiwa)
- 2 tbsps unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tbsps hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
- 10.58 oz milk chocolate
- 1.76 oz almond crumble (or hazelnuts)
Tools
- 1 Food Processor
Steps
– Put peanuts and biscuits together in the food processor and chop.
– Pour the chopped mix into a bowl, sift the cocoa directly onto it and mix, then add 3 heaping tablespoons of spreadable cream.
– Mix the ingredients together then form the balls. Place the balls on a tray lined with foil or parchment paper and refrigerate while melting the chocolate for the coating.
– Chop the milk chocolate with a knife and melt in a bain-marie or microwave; let it cool slightly and add the crumble. Mix well.
– Dip the cold balls from the fridge into the chocolate one at a time; roll them, then drain the excess and let them dry on the foil-lined tray.
– If there is leftover chocolate, pour it onto a sheet of foil, let it dry, and save it for other preparations.
Storage:
– Depending on the season, they can be kept either in the fridge or in the pantry (in a cool place)
FAQ (Questions and Answers)
How many days in advance can I make them?
– You can prepare the filling a day in advance, make the balls and put them in the fridge; the next day you just have to melt the chocolate and coat them.
How many days can they last?
– Even though there are no eggs or other perishable ingredients, I wouldn’t keep them out of the fridge for more than 4 days. In the fridge, sealed in a container, they can last up to a week.
