My friends all seem incredulous that I'm continuing with my blog; they think I must have already made everything it's possible to make with chocolate. The nineteen different variations on a theme from last month just shows how wrong they are. My list just grows ever longer and I've forgotten far more than I've listed.
So, here's hoping that you will participate in this month's challenge. The special ingredient for October is another seasonal one - Hazelnuts or Cobnuts. They are falling off the trees everywhere around here at the moment, although the squirrels seem to be getting to them faster than I can.
If you'd like to participate, check out the rules here. Please note there is one slight change on submitting photos.
right... i'm doing it this month! I LOVE hazelnuts!... now where's my chocolate and hazelnut cookbook?
ReplyDeleteCount me in again - one of my favourite combinations!
ReplyDeleteI hope I can cope with the photo size restriction - I'm not very good on the technical side of things!
First chocolate and raspberries, and now chocolate and hazelnuts - it's like you're designing these challenges just for me! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm no baker, but I think I will try this month. Although, the best use of chocolate and hazelneuts I can think of is a pot of nutella and a teaspoon..
ReplyDeleteUm, I meant me, not Gre :-/
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmm - can't wait! Loving the idea of a pot of nutella and a spoon! Oh happy days ;0)
ReplyDeleteI'm in :)
ReplyDeleteooh yummm. i am excited as it is my first time on this event, i hope to come up with a great recipe! i love hazelnuts....one question:
ReplyDeletecan i use nutella hazelnut in my recipe or does it have to all made from scratch with its original ingredients?
Dom - good news, you'd better start looking.
ReplyDeleteSuelle - don't worry if you can't manage the resizing, but would be appreciated if you can figure it out.
Nora - we do our best.
Greedy Rosie - maybe scooping it out with a biscuit instead of a spoon?
Chele - nutty days hopefully.
Joanna - good to news.
Tamanna - good to have you on board. I've stipulated the ingredient, the interpretation is up to you. So yes, if you want to use nutella, go ahead.
:-( Oh well, I'll just have to be creative with my choice of recipe and then poke my colleagues hard to get some meaningful feedback!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry C, I did warn you, you weren't going to like this one. We'll try and stay off the nuts for a while after this. But sounds as though you might be participating anyway?
ReplyDeleteooh,now there's a challenge! My cobnuts are still sitting on the side uncracked. Off to flick through my recipe books now....
ReplyDeleteNic - oh goodie, glad to have your input. Just remembering that lovely pile of nuts you have.
ReplyDeleteJust found you via Dom at Belleau Kitchen! Your blog looks "delicious" and I think I'm going to enter your October challenge in honor of my niece who turned 20 today! Then I'll send the cake off to college with her parents for her to enjoy! She and her older sister and mom are Chocoholics! If you'd like a "trip" across the pond, please visit me in New England and check out my fairly new blog, I love company and new Followers are so exciting! Thank you, I enjoyed my visit today!
ReplyDeleteOcean Breezes - thanks for your very kind comments. Really pleased you are up for participating in our chocolate challenge. You have a very lucky niece. Have been over to pay you a visit and will be doing so again - especially if you keep up with wonderful photos of squash.
ReplyDeleteChoclette - don't worry, I got the hint about nuts being the next one!!! I'm going to try and participate (time allowing as usual) anyway, and as I say, I'll prod my work colleagues for comments! It just means I'll have to think harder about what to make! (And I don't expect you to arrange the challenge around individual dislikes/allergies!)
ReplyDeleteChocolate and hazelnuts, what a wonderful combination! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Choclette,
ReplyDeleteCan I send in archived posts fitting the theme hazelnut?
Thanks in advance for the reply!

Sinfullyspicy - we're really looking for new contributions as it's the fun of everyone coming up with something fresh at the same time which is the main purpose of the challenge. You still have 9 days left to create something though if you wish to take part.
