In a bowl crumble your cake or brownie into bite sized chunks.
Add in 1/2 cup of Nutella and mix. You want the Nutella to fully coat the cake or brownies making it into a solid mass. Form into pinecone shaped balls and set aside.
In a double boiler, melt 8oz of semi sweet chocolate and add in 1 tbs of melted coconut oil.
Place a frying pan over medium heat and gently toast 1 cup of shaved almonds until golden brown. Place the almonds into the chocolate balls until they resemble pinecones.
Place the pinecones onto a wire rack with a sheet tray underneath. Drizzle the chocolate on each pinecone until completely covered. Make sure to get the melted chocolate into all the nooks and crannies.
Place the pinecones into the freezer or fridge for 30 min or until the chocolate hardens.
To serve, dust with lots of powdered sugar.
