This Raffaello chocolate candies will make a perfect Christmas gift or a priceless dessert for your group of friends.
Ferrero Raffaello chocolates are one of my favorites candies out there, they are truly heavenly. But sometimes, the eyes ask for more than the pocket can handle. Did you know that you can easily make these chocolates at home, with just as much heaven in them?
Note: Coconut flakes and wafers may not be exactly same as the ones I used. So the consistency may turn out a bit dry, just add little more butter to create enough moisture.
Raffaello candy can be stored in a refrigerator for up to one week.

This Raffaello chocolate candies will make a perfect Christmas gift or a priceless dessert for your group of friends.
Ingredients
- 1 cup White Sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
- 2 cup Dry Milk
- 1 1/2 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes (shredded into tiny pieces)
- 1 cup Vanilla Wafers
- 1 tsp Almond Extract
- 1/2 cup roasted Almonds
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Coconut Flakes for coating (shredded into tiny pieces)
Instructions
- Combine sugar together with butter, until the texture is creamy.
- Mix dry milk into the butter.
- Crush wafers. The easiest mess free way is by placing it in a bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or a meat tenderizer. Add wafers, almond extract and tiny pieces of coconut flakes into the mixture, mix into until you receive paste like texture.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place 1/2 of the almond inside and make a small round piece.
- Roll each candy into coconut flake. Repeat for each piece.

I tried this receipt and first of all there is too much sugar, way too much. The butter mixture came out too sweet. Second, it is unreal to get the mixture moist enough with just 2 sticks of butter considering that it requests the addition of several cups of other dried ingredients. I ended up adding a few tablespoons of milk to make the consistency just right.
I just finished the filling,cant wait to make the round piece.The paste turned a bit dry, but I added some milk and it became delicious.Thank you for sharing,hugs from Kosovo!
Oh that's an awesome tip, thanks for sharing. It depends on wafers you you are using, can be a bit dry. 🙂 thanks for sharing!
excuse me, what means cup?
It's a meeting cup. You can google the measurement in grams.
Am making those for Christmas this year! They look yummy!
Hey Vita, I hope you love them! 😉
They sound so good! I noticed some comments about them being kind of on a dry side... Will they crumble apart if I'll insert a cake pop stick?
Yes they would, they are on the harder side, more like a candy.
After crushing the wafers what happens to the butter mixed with dry milk?
You combine it all together with wafers.
Delicious! I didn't have dry milk and was too lazy to go to store so substituted baby formula that I was not using and instead of waffles used rice crispy cereal and added vanilla flavor. Turned out sooo delicious I had to take them away from husband because he was eating so much lol Thank you dear for sharing.
Really interesting replacement options, you are genius! Especially baby formula! I am glad you liked them. Thank you for saying hi and sharing your tricks 🙂
Yumm !!!!!!!!!
Wow! thank you for sharing photo. They look perfect 🙂
Hi Natalya, thanks a lot for the recipe, i tired to make them with hazelnut wafers and i put hazelnuts inside as well. Delicious! So I just wanted to thank you for sharing. Can't wait to try the raffaello cake as well. Regards from Macedonia!
Thank you for sharing your feedback 🙂 Oh wow, all the way from Macedonia. We plan to visit Turkey and Greece this summer, close to your place 🙂
What about the rich filling in the middle of ferrero raffaello?
I know, that filling is so good but it not really possible to create a candy mold like they have. Either way, this candy still taste just like raffaello candy.
My mix turned out very dry and would not form a ball... what can I add to moistened it and not ruin the taste? Thanks:)
Condensed milk
Great tip, thank you!
Add some butter to make it moist. What kind of coconuts did you use?
How many sticks of butter is that?
Two sticks
How many pieces come out of this portion?
40 pieces
Natasha, what do you do with the roasted almonds?
You put half of it on the inside of each candy.
Natasha, do I have to add the coconut flakes into the mixture, or just roll each candy in coconut flakes? Thanks!
Into the mixture, but its the coconut flakes that are tiny in pieces.
Im making this now and it seems to be super dry, it wont hold its shape... keeps breaking. Followed exact measurement, and I am not sure what I can add to bind it together
If its too dry, you may want to add some more butter.
Thank you so much Natalya! I just found your page and I am in love with so many of your recipes! Just a question - by dry milk, do you mean powder milk?
Yes, powder milk. Thank you for exploring the page 🙂 let me know how you like the recipes when you try them 🙂
are the coconut flakes sweetened or unsweetened?
Hi Oksana, they are unsweetened. I will make a note of that 🙂 thanks for asking a good question. 😉
Is the the wafers with the creme in the middle or without I can't tell?
Yes with vanilla cream
Thank you
