Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Combine the water, sugar, margarine, and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat.
Crush the cookies and hazelnuts, using a blender if you like. Stir them into the chocolate mixture.
Shape the mixture into balls, sprinkle with ground hazelnuts, and arrange on a baking sheet.
Top each ball with Nutella.

Tip: Let the warm mixture firm up in the refrigerator until it can be shaped without sticking to your hands. Press an indentation into each ball with your thumb to hold the Nutella like a little nest.
