This is the perfect gooey fudge for anytime of the year. The hazelnuts top off this delicious treat.  I love that you can make them bite sized so when you need a special treat (or two) you can just grab them and go.  I made these for some friends last Christmas and they were begging for the recipe.  Better late than never!
