Chocolate Hazelnut Spread Recipes

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE-HAZELNUT SPREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and place over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool to room temperature.
• Grind the nuts in a food processor until pasty (the nuts will be stuck to the sides of work bowl), 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the condensed milk, honey and salt. Blend well, scraping down the bowl as needed. Add the cooled chocolate and pulse until combined. Transfer the spread to a small bowl.
• Serve with the toasts and sliced fruit. Cook's Note: The chocolate can also be melted in a microwave. Microwave the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals until the chocolate is very soft. Stir until melted and smooth.

HOMEMADE NUTELLA RECIPE

Steps:

• Homemade Nutella Recipe: If hazelnuts are not already roasted, preheat the oven to 400 F and bake for 6-8 minutes or just until they begin to brown. Rub them together in a paper towel to get the skins off. It's okay if a few stubborn skins won't come off. In a Vitamix or food processor, blend the nuts until they've turned to butter, then add all other ingredients and blend a long time until it's smooth like Nutella! (I think I blended off-and-on for a full two minutes. It's extra-creamy in a Vitamix, but a Cuisinart food processor works as well.) Storage tips are listed above.View Nutrition Facts
