Chop the chocolate couverture and melt it over a double boiler. Using a teaspoon, scoop portions of the nougat cream and shape them into balls with your hands. Dip each ball in the dark chocolate glaze with a pralin fork, let excess drip off, then roll in the toasted hazelnut mixture. Place on parchment paper and allow to set.
