Home made 'Nutella'

Hello lovely frugal living people :)

So last month I decided to have a go at making some homemade nutella, I love chocolate soooooo much and I can literally eat nutella with a spoon, but I am trying to eat healthily so I figured that making a few home made changes would help a little (and that way I can still eat chocolate).

Ok so here is the recipe:
1 cup hazelnuts
 350g milk or dark chocolate

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp coco powder

3 tbsp icing sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Firstly you need to roast your nuts in the oven for around 10 minutes until the skin starts to split and the nuts slightly brown. 

Put the nuts all into a clean tea towel and rub vigorously to get as much of the skins off as possible. 

Next throw all of the nuts into your food processor and turn it on to the top speed to blend them and turn the nuts into nut butter.
This will take between 5 - 10 minutes, firstly it turns to a powder and it doesn't seem like much is happening but just go with it!!! It will work. You know you are done when it has the consistency of peanut butter.

Add in the coconut oil (note. its actually quite solid), coco powder and icing sugar then mix for a few minutes.

While the nuts are whizzing you can start melting your chocolate at a low heat, stirring occasionally to make sure it hasn't melted. Finally add the melted chocolate to the food processor and mix for a final few minutes.

Pour the mixture into a clean jar and enjoy!!! This is soooooooo tasty on toast, ice cream, as a cake topping and just generally on a spoon!!!

this is soooooo easy to make and soooo tasty so please get making and let me know what you think :D
