Created by someone who became Italy’s wealthiest man, he also invented Nutella (the famed chocolate hazelnut spread that is inside each of these truffles). But it’s also easy to make your own vegan Nutella. It’s pretty easy to make these vegan: all Ferrero Rocher are is a bunch of truffles with a cream filling with hazelnut chocolate centre, and a wafer.
