Colorful candies can even be given as gifts by placing them in pretty boxes or paper bags. You can replace the coconut flakes with crushed wafers, granulated sugar, or dry milk; candies coated in such breading will also turn out delicious.

Step 2
Crumble the sponge cake by hand or in a grinder. Pour the crumbs into a deep plate and add sugar. Add sour cream of any fat content and cocoa powder. It is best to use dark-colored powder, so the candies will turn out dark. Thoroughly mix the entire mass.

Step 3
Roast the hazelnut kernels in advance in a pan and remove their skins. From part of the biscuit dough, shape small flatbreads and place hazelnut kernels in the center of each. Seal the edges, forming small round balls.

Step 4
