I've wanted to make Homemade Nutella (or Hazelnut Chocolate Spread) for the longest time. Because those at the stores contain milk, an ingredient to which I'm allergic.
Since I had the food processor out for the ice cream, I figured it was a good chance to test if my food processor could actually make Nut Butters. I wasn't sure it could, even though the manual said it could, because the food processor overheated when I wanted to make coconut butter from dessicated coconut. Perhaps the coconut didn't come out with sufficient natural oils. I don't know!
BUT YES!! My machine works. I love my food processor again. ^^
So, before I could make the nut butter, I had to toast the Hazelnuts. And seriously, they made my house smell super yummy.

After toasting the hazelnuts, it's time to blend them till they form a smooth paste. (Takes a while. Maybe 10-15 minutes.)
Then, mix in some melted dark chocolate with some neutral oil, salt and vanilla extract, and BAM! All done. Easy peasy. :)
REVIEW
Me: I LOVE IT. The taste of toasted hazelnuts really comes through. I'm so in love.
