Homemade Nutella
"From a French children's book I just bought. Saw this, went in the kitchen and made it immediately, it took about 5 minutes. My French husband says it is better than Nutella. It is grittier, because I couldn't figure out how it to get it really smooth, but it tastes great. Makes enough to exactly fill one French Bonne Maman jam jar."

ingredients
directions
- Get the hazelnuts as finely ground as possible. My final product was gritty because I couldn't get them powdered enough. It doesn't hurt the taste but if anyone figures out how to make them finer, email me.
- Melt the butter.
- Combine the melted butter, cocoa, honey and powdered hazelnuts and mix.
- Put in some kind of container and keep in the fridge.

This has been my standard recipe for homemade nutella for years. You can get a paste out of the hazelnuts if you process them in a very strong food processor until they get hot. They will form a ball around the blades of the processor and then become a paste. Just keep processing long enough. This is very good with cashews or cashew butter, too, and also, as Kasha says, if the hazelnuts stay a bit gritty :-) Thanks for posting this! -
Absolutely fantastic recipe! I would roast the nuts slightly next time, to bring out all their aroma. I also added 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/8 teaspoon salt. -
OH YUM! I've made this with ghee so it would be casien (dairy) free for my family and it turned out wonderful. And my kids thank you ,too.:)
