Lindt Nuxor
Lindt Nuxor – Smooth Chocolate with Whole Roasted Hazelnuts
Lindt Nuxor is made for chocolate lovers who believe hazelnuts should provide a proper crunch rather than a vague suggestion of nuttiness. Each piece combines whole roasted hazelnuts with smooth gianduja-style chocolate, creating a substantial contrast between creamy chocolate and crisp nuts.
Available in milk and dark chocolate varieties, the Nuxor range occupies its own distinctive place within the world of Lindt. It is richer and more textured than a conventional chocolate bar, firmer than a melting Lindor truffle and particularly satisfying for anyone who enjoys chocolate with whole nuts.

What Is Lindt Nuxor?
Lindt Nuxor is a chocolate and hazelnut confection that combines whole roasted hazelnuts with smooth hazelnut chocolate. Rather than using a completely soft centre, Nuxor places the crisp texture of the nuts at the heart of each piece.
The surrounding chocolate has a gianduja-style character. Gianduja is a smooth combination of chocolate and finely ground hazelnuts, producing a creamy, nut-rich flavour that naturally complements the whole roasted hazelnuts inside.
A typical piece of Lindt Nuxor delivers:
- Whole roasted hazelnuts
- Smooth hazelnut chocolate
- A substantial crisp centre
- Creamy gianduja-style flavour
- A choice of milk or dark chocolate
- Individually portioned pieces suited to sharing
Recipes, pack sizes and presentation formats can vary, so always consult the individual product listing and current packaging for exact details.
Lindt Nuxor Milk Chocolate and Roasted Hazelnuts
Lindt Nuxor Milk Chocolate and Roasted Hazelnuts combines the mellow sweetness of milk chocolate with creamy hazelnut flavour and whole roasted nuts.
The milk chocolate gives each piece a smooth, rounded character, while the roasted hazelnuts prevent the texture from becoming too soft. It is sweet enough to feel indulgent but substantial enough that a single piece provides a satisfying chocolate and nut experience.
Choose the milk chocolate variety if you prefer:
- Creamy and mellow chocolate
- A sweeter hazelnut flavour
- Whole nuts with a crisp bite
- Chocolate that works well with tea or coffee
- A broadly appealing chocolate gift
Lindt Nuxor Dark Chocolate and Roasted Hazelnuts
Lindt Nuxor Dark Chocolate and Roasted Hazelnuts introduces a deeper cocoa flavour and a less sweet finish. The greater cocoa intensity provides a stronger contrast with the creamy hazelnut notes and brings the roasted character of the whole nuts forward.
This variety is particularly suitable for dark chocolate enthusiasts who still want more texture than a plain bar. It sits naturally alongside our wider collection of Lindt Dark Chocolate, offering whole hazelnut crunch rather than the clean, uninterrupted melt of a high-cocoa bar.
Choose dark Nuxor if you enjoy:
- Deeper cocoa flavour
- Less sweetness than milk chocolate
- Roasted hazelnut character
- A longer chocolate finish
- More grown-up chocolate gifts
Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate Nuxor?
Both varieties centre on the same important partnership of chocolate and roasted hazelnuts, but the chocolate surrounding those nuts changes the overall experience.
Milk Chocolate Nuxor is sweeter, creamier and more immediately approachable. It allows the smooth gianduja-style flavour to take the lead while the whole hazelnuts provide texture.
Dark Chocolate Nuxor has a stronger cocoa profile and less sweetness. It emphasises roasted flavours and produces a more pronounced contrast between the dark chocolate and nutty centre.
A mixed selection is the sensible solution when choosing between them appears unnecessarily difficult. It also creates a more varied chocolate gift, allowing the recipient to compare both recipes.
What Does Lindt Nuxor Taste Like?
The first impression is smooth chocolate with a creamy hazelnut character. Biting into the piece reveals the whole roasted nuts, adding a clean crunch and a warmer, more aromatic hazelnut flavour.
The overall flavour can be described as:
- Chocolatey and deeply nutty
- Creamy around the outside
- Crisp and substantial at the centre
- Roasted rather than merely sweet
- Rich enough to enjoy one piece at a time
Milk Nuxor has a softer, sweeter finish, while dark Nuxor places greater emphasis on cocoa and roasted nut flavours. Neither relies on a liquid or fondant centre. The appeal lies in combining smooth chocolate with the physical crunch of whole hazelnuts.
Lindt Nuxor and Gianduja Chocolate
Gianduja-style chocolate provides the creamy foundation of the Nuxor experience. Traditionally associated with finely ground hazelnuts and chocolate, gianduja has a smooth texture and a pronounced roasted nut flavour.
Nuxor adds whole hazelnuts to this smooth base, creating two expressions of the same ingredient. Finely ground hazelnut contributes creaminess, while whole roasted hazelnuts supply structure and crunch.
This layered treatment of hazelnut is what distinguishes Nuxor from an ordinary whole-nut chocolate bar. It is nutty throughout rather than simply chocolate surrounding isolated pieces of hazelnut.
Lindt Nuxor vs Lindor Chocolate
Nuxor and Lindor offer very different chocolate experiences.
Lindor truffles are known for their delicate shells and soft, smooth-melting centres. Nuxor pieces are firmer and more substantial, with whole roasted hazelnuts providing a pronounced crunch.
- Choose Lindor for a melting centre and silky texture.
- Choose Nuxor for whole nuts, gianduja flavour and crunch.
- Choose both when building a Lindt gift with contrasting textures.
Including both ranges in one box creates a more interesting selection because the recipient can move between smooth truffles and crisp hazelnut chocolate.
Lindt Nuxor vs Lindt Excellence
Lindt Excellence is primarily centred on slim chocolate bars, cocoa percentages and carefully balanced flavours. Nuxor focuses much more directly on hazelnuts and contrasting texture.
An Excellence dark chocolate bar offers a clean snap and a gradual, uninterrupted cocoa melt. Nuxor adds creamy hazelnut chocolate and whole roasted nuts, producing a richer and more substantial confection.
Choose Excellence when you want to explore cocoa intensity. Choose Nuxor when the combination of chocolate and roasted hazelnuts is the main attraction.
A Chocolate for Hazelnut Lovers
Lindt Nuxor belongs naturally within the wider world of Chocolate Nuts. Hazelnuts and chocolate work especially well together because both have warm, roasted flavours that reinforce one another.
Whole hazelnuts also change the pace of eating. Instead of melting away immediately, each Nuxor piece requires a satisfying bite, making it feel more substantial than a plain square of chocolate.
Nuxor is particularly suitable for:
- Hazelnut chocolate enthusiasts
- Fans of praline and gianduja
- People who prefer crunchy chocolate
- Milk and dark chocolate tastings
- After-dinner chocolate plates
- Luxury chocolate hampers
- Birthdays and seasonal gifts
- Sharing with coffee

Create a Lindt Pick and Mix Selection
Our Lindt Pick and Mix collection makes it possible to combine nut chocolates, bars, truffles and other Lindt favourites according to personal taste.
Add milk and dark Nuxor for crunch, then introduce Lindor truffles for smoothness and an Excellence bar for cocoa intensity. The result is a chocolate selection with genuine variation rather than the same texture repeated beneath different wrappers.
How to Serve Lindt Nuxor
Serve Lindt Nuxor at a comfortable room temperature. Chocolate that is too cold releases less aroma, while excessive warmth may soften the gianduja-style chocolate and reduce the contrast with the hazelnuts.
Nuxor can be served:
- Alongside coffee or espresso
- With black tea or cappuccino
- On an after-dinner chocolate plate
- As part of a dessert board
- Beside fresh berries
- With milk and dark chocolate for comparison
- As a textured addition to a gift hamper
Coffee is an especially natural partner because its roasted character complements both the cocoa and hazelnuts.
Ingredients and Allergen Information
Lindt Nuxor contains hazelnuts as a central ingredient and is unsuitable for anyone with a hazelnut allergy. Milk chocolate varieties contain dairy, and dark varieties may also contain milk or carry cross-contact warnings.
Products may contain soya and other nuts, while additional allergen information can vary between recipes and production markets. Always check the current package before eating or gifting Nuxor.
Do not assume that milk and dark varieties share the same dietary suitability. Ingredients, manufacturing guidance and certifications may change, so the individual product label remains the definitive source.
How to Store Lindt Nuxor
Keep Lindt Nuxor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, moisture and strong odours. Stable storage helps preserve both the chocolate’s smooth texture and the crispness of the roasted hazelnuts.
Refrigeration is not normally necessary in moderate UK conditions. During unusually warm weather, place the sealed chocolate inside an airtight container before chilling it, then allow it to return gradually towards room temperature before opening.
