Everyone loves Nutella. Everyone. This will be the easiest chocolate hazelnut spread you've ever made, so you can have it whenever you like!
Ingredients
  • 1 1⁄4 cups hazelnuts
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Place the hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the hazelnuts have darkened and the skins easily fall off. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Use your fingers or a towel to remove the skins from the hazelnuts. They should come off pretty easily, but don’t worry if there are some random pieces of skin that won’t come off.
  4. Place the hazelnuts in a high-speed blender such as a Blendtec, or in a food processor. Process for about 20 to 30 seconds, until completely creamy.*
  5. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl in the microwave, then stir.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate into the blender or food processor and pulse until completely combined and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Store in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
