Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Nutella) #Recipe
My kids and I LOVE Nutella. However, it is rather expensive and when I looked at the ingredients I wasn’t very pleased with all of the sugar and preservatives. So we decided to try making it ourselves! Not only was it a lot of fun….it turned out DELICIOUS! I love that it is silky smooth, tasty, has a fraction of the sugar and isn’t nearly as sweet as the original Nutella. Keep in mind if you enjoy the super sweetness of Nutella you can definitely get that with this recipe by using milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and add 1/4 cup powdered sugar (that should do the trick!) Ingredients…
