Raw Nutella Bites

I’ve had Nutella on my mind since making my nut-free version.  I was thinking about the hazelnut/chocolate combination and how popular it is and how pleasing the taste.  And I was thinkinghow about something bite size with this ever so popular pairing.  I’ve had some soaked and dehydrated hazelnuts in the fridge for daaaays, so I was happy to use them in something.  These are very portable little snacks.  The dates make it possible to carry at room temperature.  Nice treat for mommies and kids alike.
