    yea well you should first dip them in melted chocolate and cover it with crushed hazelnuts to make sure they look genuine

      They really should be cooked, first.

      If raw, they would be much harder to bite into when compared to what a person would expect from a chocolate. Thus, it would be really easy to recognize something was off before you had sunk your teeth in enough to be fully committed. Meaning, a person could very likely just quickly spit it out before getting a good bite.

      If cooked, then the softness would make it so you’re already all in and you’d get way more sprout all throughout your mouth. Even better would be to cook them so they are super-soft and would immediately become mush in the mouth.

    I can’t get over the fact tons of us used to think Ferrero Rochers were some delicacy for millionaires, but in reality can just be bought for under $10 at the average supermarket

    I wonder how long you can safely, and in good consciousness, leave these without being eaten before you have to say something. Like if you trick your dad into accepting the switched out Sprout Ferrero Rochers but he doesn’t open them for three weeks should you squeal?

    am not a father, but want to get in on the joke. I can’t deduce what brussel sprouts and chocolate have to do with each other…

      the sprouts are a similar size and shape to those chocolates, and theyre hidden under the gold wrappers, meaning the actual chocolate isnt visible from the outside. So, they can remove the chocolate, wrap the wrappers back over the sprouts, and put those back in the package so as to make whoever it is given to think theyre getting chocolate, until they unwrap one.

        It gets worse, melting chocolate over the sprouts, and then adding the nut crumble makes them look exactly the same…
