Homemade Nutella

Okay, sometime in December I started seeing all kinds of recipes on Pinterest that called for Nutella and I couldn’t stop talking about how I wanted some and how good it tasted blah, blah, blah.  To my surprise Robert had never had any!!!  So I sent him straight way to Giant to get a jar.  He was hooked. 

Over the next few weeks I found jars of Nutella in high cabinets and hidden in the fridge.  He obviously didn’t want to share and most definitely needed an intervention!  Eventually I convinced him to read the label and the jars stopped appearing in the house.

But I found a recipe on Pinterest for homemade Nutella and Santa brought Robert a bag of hazelnuts.  Finally, after only 7 monthsSurprised smile I made the Nutella today!

Now it is probably a good thing that time has passed between this recipe and the actual Nutella.  It’s really good but it isn’t super smooth and made of sugar so…

2 cups roasted hazelnuts without skins

1/2 maple syrup

dash of salt

1 t coconut oil

3 T cocoa

Blend until smooth

Everyone keeps sneaking spoonfuls so I’m giving it an A+Smile
