If you like to know exactly what you’re consuming when you eat certain foods, or if you like to spend time making your own tasty treats -- or if you’re just sick of buying multiple jars of sugary goodness -- you absolutely must try the recipe for this homemade Nutella.
It’s no secret that many, myself included, are addicted to this sugar-filled hazelnut spread. Unlike Green Eggs and Ham, I will eat it anywhere. I eat it when I’m sick, and I eat so much of it I get sick. If you're the same way, once you realize that you can combine your love of homemade decadent treats with your chocolate addiction, you'll be over-the-top happy.
What's even better is that this homemade Nutella recipe actually gives you the option to make this glorious chocolate spread slightly more health conscious. By incorporating a variety of other nuts, such as almonds, and using coconut or Almond milk, you (and me) can feel slightly less guilty about snacking on homemade Nutella.
