It’s no secret that many, myself included, are addicted to this [sugar-filled hazelnut spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-plantbased). 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-peanut), you'll be over-the-top happy. What's even better is that this [homemade Nutella recipe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hazelnut-cocoa-spread) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 3% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Homemade Nut Butters:** Making your own nut butter spreads at home provides an opportunity to customize flavors and ingredients, and offers a healthier alternative to store-bought versions. - **Healthy Comfort Foods:** Creating homemade versions of popular comfort foods, like Nutella, by using alternative ingredients and reducing sugar and preservatives, offers consumers a healthier option that still satisfies their cravings. - **DIY Foodie Culture:** The rise of DIY foodie culture encourages individuals to experiment and create unique, personalized versions of their favorite foods at home, using healthier and higher-quality ingredients. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Beverage Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of healthier, customizable nut butter spreads by creating DIY kits or offering recipes and tips for creating homemade versions of their own products. - **Organic and Natural Food Products:** Organic and natural food companies can attract consumers who seek healthier, preservative-free versions of comfort foods by creating and marketing alternatives to popular, processed products like Nutella. - **Cooking and Recipe Platforms:** Food bloggers and cooking websites can provide opportunities for creative expression and self-sufficiency by offering recipes and tutorials for making personalized, healthy versions of favorite comfort foods like Nutella. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Origin Hazelnut Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pip-nut-chocolate-hazelnut-spread.md) - [Three-Ingredient Nut Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cravers.md) - [Better-for-You Hazelnut Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-hazelnut-spread.md) - [Nut-Free Chocolate Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/choc-pot-hazelnot.md) - [Triple-Ingredient Nut Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashew-hazelnut-cocoa-spread.md) - [Free-From Chocolate Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yummtella.md) - [Vegan-Friendly Hazelnut Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-freedom-choc-pot-hazelnot.md) - [Two-Ingredient Cocoa Spreadable Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-delight-by-caporaso.md) - [Dairy-Free Hazelnut Spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutella-plantbased.md)
