Nutella, that creamy nutty chocolate spread we love!
Nutella was originally created in a bakery owned by Pietro Ferrero in Alba Italy. Hazelnuts were widely grown around the area and often included in the bakery. Pietro made his first cocoa hazelnut confection in candy form but in 1951 he created a creamy spreadable version which quickly became quite popular! In 1963 Pietro’s son began marketing this creamy cocoa spread throughout Europe naming it Nutella
- Cacao or Cocoa (2 tbsp.)
- Maple Syrup (3 tbsp.)
Roast the hazelnuts…
by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Place the hazelnuts in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes! Don’t let them burn!
Quick tip!
Place the toasted hazelnuts in a clean dishtowel and rub them together in the towel. You’ll be amazed, the shells come right off! So much easier than trying to peel those little guys! Trust me, I’ve done it, lol
Grab your favorite…
Food processor. Yes of course I called good old Walter! He’s always on standby for these challenges. Add the Cacao and Maple syrup and start processing. As they say…patience is a virtue! It’s not done yet! Keep processing!
Now that’s much better!
Dreamy Creamy Nutella! I continued to process for a few minutes more; I wanted a really smooth butter consistency!
Pour into your favorite jar and enjoy!
What a great sandwich spread…
and it’s wonderful with Ice Cream too! Even better, I made another healthy treat using Nutella! Take a peak… more to come!
Love seeing you today, I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
And as always, blessings to you all!
I'm not much of a nutella fan. I bought a jar a few years ago and it finally just kind of dessicated and I threw it out. Maybe half used.
But your recipe looks great! I might give that a try. I've got no maple syrup in the house, but I've been threatening for a while now. Nothing better to drizzle on grilling salmon...
Thanks Birds! Looks just great!

That looks like a far healthier substitute for what is found on the shelf! I have a son who really likes it. I'll need to give this a try.

I know my son used to eat it every single day but stopped with it because of the amount of sugar it contains :)

I get it now. There’s nearly as much Nutella on the shelves at any of the markets as there is tea here—true story. Next time we’re in one (we were just there today), I’ll snap a picture for you.
You know every one of your images is could make the cover, right?

I can still remember my first time trying Nutella (at my daughter's insistence) and it was so creamy and delicious!

I've never tried nutella but this week I made some sun butter. This was my first attempt at a nut or seed butter. It really works, I was surprised. Guess I can make my own almond butter now. I have learned so much on the steemit platform. I'll be waiting for your healthy treat made with nutella.

I have fond memories of the first time I ever tried Nutella - it was during a high school trip to Germany & France. At one point, we were staying with host families for a few days, and my roommate & I were treated to a breakfast tray that included a jar of that magical yumminess! Now we almost always have a jar in our kitchen (except when our boy polishes it off and forgets to mention we need more... grrrrr....😂 )
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe for a healthier alternative. I've pinned it on my Tasty Temptations board for future reference. 😊

Confession time: I have never eaten Nutella. I don't have a sweet tooth, so don't get what all the fuss is about. That said, I would use this in (a) dessert(s) for Sunday Supper, so I have a question: what to use instead of maple syrup?

I will admit to buying Nutella when I lived in Europe and at the time the US had never heard of such a beast!
Since is has become available here, I have not bought it, but the homemade version sounds like it is calling out my name. You do come up with the greatest ideas!
Thank you! Again and Again for these recipes~

You've named your food processor? haha. I hardly ever use one, but this recipe sounds yummy. Love the tip to skin the hazelnuts.
I recently read somewhere that maple syrup protects the colon from colon cancer.

Thanks for the recipe. I never had Nutella growing up and never acquired a taste for it..use peanut butter.

Great recipe and those look like chocolate energy balls that I make - ymmmm. Lots of variations for them. Rolled in unsweetened coconut is a nice variation.

I love Nutella, when we were growing up we only had Nutella at Christmas time. I don't think they sold it in the States back then, my uncle's in Italy would send us a couple of jars @birdsinparadise 💕

@birdsinparadise 💜💜💜💜💜 I love Nutella and Ferrero Rocher are my favorite chocolates. I love having it around just when I need a little bit of a chocolate fix.
This looks amazing and it doesn't have palm oil...even better. I need to try this.

I've never really got into eating nutella, but I had a hiking buddy who used to bring nutella backpacking with us and he would dip Oreo cookies in it. lol. I think it's awesome that your making it yourself. I'm sure it's way better than the stuff from the store.
