Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine room-temperature butter, egg yolk, and powdered sugar. Add flour and chopped almonds. Use a mixer with dough hook to work into a smooth dough, then knead by hand for 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Shape the dough into small hedgehog shapes using a teaspoon and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the hedgehogs for 15 minutes until golden. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
  4. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler over gently simmering water. Dip the broad side of each hedgehog in the chocolate, then immediately decorate with chocolate sprinkles. Dip a wooden stick in the melted chocolate to paint eyes and a nose on each hedgehog.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
