4.  Hazelnut Spread

For those of you who are hooked on Nutella, this is a great alternative that has all of the flavor but none of the junk.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup of shelled hazelnuts
  • ½ Cup of chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon of hazelnut oil (you can use sunflower oil in a pinch)
  • ½ Teaspoon of real vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  • Put the hazelnuts in a cast iron skillet over medium heat and toast them for a few minutes. They should be light brown in color.
  • Allow the nuts to cool, and then place them in your food processor for a few minutes.
  • Add the vanilla, chocolate chips, salt and oil
  • Continue to process until it pulls into a little ball. If it doesn’t after about 2 minutes, add a bit more oil.
  • Continue blending until smooth and creamy
  • If it seems a bit goopy at first, don’t worry, it will firm up after a few hours.
