Ingredients

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Beat the soft butter with the icing sugar until fluffy. Add the melted, cooled chocolate and the rum (or milk) and mix until smooth.
Fold in the ground hazelnuts. If it is too thick add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, if too runny add more hazelnuts. The cream should be spreadable but not runny.
Place the wafer sheets on a tray lined with baking paper. Spread the first with cream, lay the second on top, spread that too, then add the third. Place a weight (chopping board, book) on top.
Chill for 1 hour so it sets and cuts easily.
Cut the slab with a sharp knife into 3x3 cm squares. Melt the chocolate with the oil over steam and dip one corner of each square into it. Set on baking paper in the fridge.

Based on: Malatinszky Fanny szakácskönyve (a classic Hungarian cookbook), modernised. Calories and protein are estimated.

Tips

Toast the hazelnuts first and rub off the skins.
The weight presses the layers together so it does not fall apart.
Cut with a sharp knife dipped in hot water.
It keeps for 1 week in the fridge.
