I must say I usually make these several times a year but this recipe is certainly a must during the holiday season. The best part about these treats is simple, they are easy to make, simply delicious and it takes no time at all!

SPUMETTI (Chocolate-Hazelnut Meringues)

1lb. Hazelnut meats, coarsely chopped
1lb. Confectioner's sugar
1oz. Cocoa (Table Spoon)
2tsp. Cinnamon (Tea Spoon)
6 Egg whites

Preheat the over to 325F. Cut baking pan liner to fit 2 baking sheets and lightly grease. Mix hazelnuts, sugar, cocoa, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add egg whites and mix well until blended - about 5 minutes. Wet hands and break off small pieces of mixture (about 1tablespoon) and shape into round balls. Place on baking sheets, 1 inch apart and bake for approximately 30 minutes. This will make about 3/12 dozen!
