1. Step

In a blender, grind the biscuits, roasted almonds (or hazelnuts), and cocoa powder into a fine mixture. Once blended, transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the mascarpone and chocolate spread. Knead the mixture well by hand until it forms a smooth, moldable dough.

2. Step

Shape the dough into cone-like forms resembling pine cones. If desired, fill the center with caramel or another filling of your choice. Decorate the cones by attaching cereal petals to create a realistic pine cone effect.
