15. Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Bunnies
Concept & Aesthetics:
Rich, decadent, and filled with silky chocolate hazelnut spread, topped with crunchy caramelized praline chunks.
How to Make It:
- Replace traditional cinnamon butter with a thick layer of Nutella or gianduja spread sprinkled with ground cinnamon.
- Shape into bunnies, keeping ears snug to retain melting chocolate.
- Bake at 340°F (170°C) to prevent chocolate bitterness.

Tips & Variations:
- Insert whole roasted hazelnuts into the dough centers before baking.
- Dust with golden luster powder for celebration setups.
