Chocolate Hazelnut Butter (Nutella II) |
The last time I tried to make
Homemade Nutella, I used a can of coconut milk and melted chocolate and although I enjoyed it and gobbled it up within days, I wanted to try making it again with slightly different ingredients. This is a twist on my
Chocolate Walnut Butter recipe, using hazelnuts instead and switching around the ratio of a few ingredients. I have to admit, I think both my kids and I preferred this version, although it had been so long since I made the last one, it is a little hard to remember. I like knowing that what goes into this yummy chocolate spread is all fairly healthy, so that I can enjoy it on toast, or a piece of fruit, or simply with a spoon, and know that I am treating myself in a responsible way. And it tastes amazing. If you are not as big a fan of chocolate as I am, you should try the
Maple Cinnamon Hazelnut Butter recipe instead. That is definitely my son's favorite and honestly, a close second in my opinion to this one as well.
