Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Nutella) #Recipe

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!)

I must admit I got pretty good at making lemonade and even though we now live in Kansas and lemons are not as easy as picking in our backyard I find myself picking up a bag or two at Costco and making a refreshing treat for my family! Fresh Squeezed Lemonade Recipe Ingredients: 3-4 medium/large lemons (I like the bigger lemons because they are naturally a little…
