How to Make Mock Nutella Spread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and skins start to loosen. Let cool slightly.
  2. Once cool enough to handle, rub the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the skins. (Some skins may remain, which is fine).
  3. Place the roasted hazelnuts and chocolate chips in a food processor.
  4. Process until finely ground, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. With the food processor running, gradually add the oil, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches your desired consistency – smooth and creamy but not runny.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed (you could add a pinch of salt or a touch of honey or maple syrup).
  7. Transfer the finished spread to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
