Chocolate and hazelnut galette des rois

The chocolate and hazelnut galette des rois, here is a recipe that goes a little off the beaten track. I replaced the almond powder with hazelnut powder, a marriage always successful, the roasted hazelnuts divinely scented this beautiful and good cake. Of course at home we are big chocolate and pancake lovers, but the children are now much too old to go under the table and distribute the gourmet portions as they wish, only memories. A very beautiful way to celebrate the Epiphany, it is originally the arrival of the Three Kings for the birth of the Messiah on earth, it is traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday of the month of January, for once at home this will be a chocolate and hazelnut galette des rois. Always with a small family challenge to know who will be the king, after that it becomes complicated because his majesty will have to choose his queen or his king, the children have their eyes that shine at this moment, they all dream of being able to wear this crown on their little heads ……
