These healthy homemade Ferrero Rocher pralines are an easy, fun and delicious treat to make for the Christmas holidays, Valentines, Easter or for any special occasion.

They are a huge hit with my clients. It’s also a hit with my boyfriend as this is his all-time favourite sweet thing to eat. Yes, I’m a fan of these too.

Are you?

If so, you gotta make this healthier version than the commercialized Ferrero Rocher. The recipe is incredibly blow-your-mind easy and only takes 10 minutes.

I have made some personal modifications to these healthy homemade Ferrero Rocher pralines. For example, I have used maple syrup in place of agave syrup. My boyfriend does not like dark chocolate so I have used semisweet chocolate chips. In place of sea salt, I sometimes use pink Himalayan salt.

One thing I would like to try is a white chocolate version of these pralines. I am a huge white chocolate fan. I’m curious to explore this recipe some more and come up with other ideas because it’s so simple and quick to make. If I could formulate a few other versions, I think this would be a regular dessert in our home.

I’m an avid cyclist. I have got to make a version to take on my rides. Wouldn’t that be wicked? Everyone will want my snacks. Ha!
