Hip-to-Be Squares

1. Stage

Place the Nutella in a medium-size bowl, add the melted chocolate, and stir well with a rubber spatula until combined.

2. Stage

Add the sea salt, oil, and feuilletine, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it in an even layer with the spatula. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 60 to 90 minutes.

3. Stage

Run the tip of a sharp chef’s knife around the edge of the candy to loosen it, if necessary. Gently turn it out onto the prepared cutting board.

4. Stage

Temper the 3 cups chocolate or use the 3 cups chocolate and 1/2 cup oil to make a substitute chocolate coating.

5. Stage

Pour 1/2 cup of the chocolate over the top of the candy and spread it into a thin, even layer with the offset spatula. Allow it to set, about 5 minutes.

6. Stage

Place a sheet of parchment paper over the candy and carefully flip it over (the chocolate will be on the bottom). Pour the remaining chocolate over the candy and spread it into an even layer with the offset spatula. Allow it to set up for 2 minutes, then run the tines of a fork through the surface, making a wavy pattern.

7. Stage

Score the surface of the chocolate into 1-inch squares using a sharp chef’s knife. Allow it to set until the chocolate has firmed up slightly but still has some give, about 5 minutes.

8. Stage

Pressing firmly, cut the candy along the score lines. Allow to set completely, 10 minutes. Store the squares, layered with wax or parchment paper, in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to 3 weeks.
