Baci di Cherasco (And More)

Torino may be the best-known chocolate town in Piemonte, but Cherasco, in the Province of Cuneo, certainly isn't second fiddle, and is also in the heart of hazelnut territory. This recipe will in theory produce enough chocolate kisses for four.

Want something richer? Cioccolata di Savoia is a libidinously rich dessert.

Or, if you want to add a little zing to the end of the meal (especially if where you happen to be is cold), you might make chocolate covered figs.
