Hazelnut Nama Chocolate (ヘーゼルナッツ生チョコ), easy chocolate treat!

 Hazelnut goes very well with chocolate, well people who love to eat Nutella will agree with me ^^.

 There are many times that I use Hazelnut liqueur with chocolate, to add more flavor and deliciousness. But I know that there are many people who don't want to use alcohol (esp. when cooking for kid or due to the religious), so I think I have to find new way to put the flavor not the alcohol in, hehe.
This time for Hazelnut flavor I choose Mitte Hazelnut flavoured syrup instead of Frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) (Note: you can use other brand of Hazelnut flavoured syrup). And adjust the recipe so the taste won't be too sweet and the texture still make you smile with satisfaction . I really recommend high percentage dark chocolate for this recipe, as the texture will be better (low percentage the Nama chocolate will be too soft and the taste is more mellow). As it contains whipping cream and butter, it should be kept in the fridge, but 1 hour at room temperature (not too warm) is still acceptable.
