These bite-sized marbles are ideal for snacking and also make a thoughtful gift for chocolate lovers. Hazelnuts can provide various health benefits and improve heart health.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet.
2.	Roast the hazelnuts for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Let them cool and then rub off their skins using a clean kitchen towel.
3.	In a saucepan, mix the sugar, salt, honey, and 1/4 cup of water. Over medium heat, cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves, and then increase the heat to high and bring it to a boil.
4.	Cook the mixture while stirring until it turns a rich amber color and reaches a temperature of 300°F on a candy thermometer.
5.	Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the hazelnuts until they are coated with the caramel mixture.
6.	Pour the hazelnuts onto parchment paper and let them cool for 10 minutes.
7.	Melt the chocolate over a double boiler, then dip each hazelnut marble into the chocolate and place it back on the parchment paper. Let the chocolate set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
