Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream brown sugar with margarine until light and fluffy. Add flour; mix to combine. Add hazelnuts. When combined, press firmly into 24 silicone flower molds. Set aside.
Melt chocolate and margarine in a microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool. Whisk in sugar, vanilla and eggs until batter is smooth. Stir in flour, nougat powder and salt until just combined. Fill a large pastry bag with brownie batter. Squeeze batter to fill each cavity of the silicone pan ¾ full. Place filled pan on a cookie sheet. Bake for 22 to 25 Minutes until top is dull and slightly cracked. Remove from oven and place in freezer. Remove from pans when frozen.
Pour a small amount of luster dust into a small container. Add hazelnuts; cover & shake to coat the nuts.
Melt the white chocolate. Add nougat powder to achieve a beige color. Put melted chocolate into a piping bag and snip a tiny hole.
Drizzle over brownies. Top with gilded hazelnuts.
