Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

We haven't had it for so long, and had a bit of a craving, so we had to come up with our own vegan Nutella.

It's incredibly easy to make and really versatile - you can keep tasting and adjusting until you're happy. We think we have a really good balance of everything in this recipe, but if you want it a little sweeter, or a little more chocolatey, we write it a lot on our recipes - you do you!

This one is as simple as buying the ingredients, roasting the hazelnuts (or just buy some roasted hazelnuts!) and blending it all up, so there's no excuse not to make this one. It's also unrefined sugar free.
