So, yeah. You should never, ever make this. You will regret making this. This is a seriously dangerous recipe. Should you foolishly decide to make it anyway, don’t say I didn’t warn you. I love hazelnuts and I love chocolate, but I don’t buy that popular, sugar-laden spread made of those ingredients. I like macadamia [...]

This recipe makes four individual-sized souffles, and you could cut the recipe in half if you want to make these for Valentine’s [...]
