Homemade Nutella!

I don’t know about you but Nutella is one of my favorite things ever. Unfortunately the brand Nutella has stuff in it I don’t want to be consuming. I’ve found other kinds, but I was curious if I could possibly make my own as I’ve made other nut butters. I tried and succeeded! Thick, Creamy, Rich, Spreadable, and Delicious!

I love it on tart green apples, but I also had some fun making Ants On A Log, using both black and fire ants! Aren’t they cute?! Goji berries are awesome by the way.

Yum! Jim found this to be a big hit too! He savored half of the plate with me.

The day after (I actually had some left) I used some as a topper/mix-in for Banana Mango Soft Serve for Jim and I. SO GOOD!
To make it I used a combination of hazelnuts (which I toasted for their incredible flavor), cocoa power, vanilla, and some finely blitzed dried sugar cane crystals. To make this raw next time I’ll be using raw hazelnuts, cacao powder, vanilla bean bits, and raw agave.
Seriously, if you haven’t tried making this and you love Nutella half as much as I do, you must make it. All you need is a food processor.
