Line a couple of baking sheets with greaseproof paper.
Step 2.
Put the chopped Lindt EXCELLENCE 45% Cocoa Milk Chocolate into a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3.
Spoon about 3 teaspoons of the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to shape into a circle. Repeat with the remaining chocolate until you have 16 discs. Sprinkle with the finely chopped hazelnuts and leave to set in a cool, dry place for at least 2 hours.
Step 4.
Meanwhile, pour the cream into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the golden syrup, chopped chocolate and Hazelnut Chocolate Spread until smooth and melted. Pour into a heat-proof bowl and leave to cool to room temperature. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Step 5.
Remove from the fridge and beat well. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Step 6.
Peel the set chocolate discs off of the greaseproof and set onto a flat board. Pipe swirls of the chocolate and hazelnut ganache on top of 8 of the discs. Top with a plain chocolate disc.
Step 7.
Serve straight away (you can carefully stack on top of each other).
