2 cups hazelnuts, cleaned and toasted

3/4 cup powdered sugar, or more for sweeter

1/4 cup dark or regular cocoa

4-5 pieces dark chocolate cocoa bar, chopped

Splash of vanilla 

A few drops of coconut, walnut, or canola oil, only if needed to process smoother (depending on your hazelnuts) And/or a few drops of milk or warm water

Food process the warm, toasted nuts until they become very fine, soft, and slightly clumping together. At this point, add the cocoa, sugar, chocolate, and vanilla; process a few times to mix thoroughly. If and when the mix is too thick, add some drops of oil. Again, this is a very flexible recipe. All you need to keep consistent is the texture, which should be rich and creamy.  If the flavor is too strong or mixture too thick, add a few drops of milk or warm water, this will quickly smooth your spread so be careful not to add too much. 

This spreadable goodness is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G on bananas!!!! It can be spread on anything, almost. It is great on fresh bread, apples, biscuits, crackers, oatmeal, and so much more. 

Will make two small jars or one larger jar. I like to divide into two jars, keeping one in the fridge and one in the cupboard. 

          

I only wish that you could scratch and sniff or better yet, touch and taste!
