This is AMAZING! I don’t even like chocolate. I decided to try the recipe to appease my family and I ended up eating the end result by the spoonful, (in private of course.) This is on my list for Christmas gifts this year with a loaf of freshly baked bread. Yummy!

Holy Shish Kebab, is this good. . .addictive. . .all natural. . .vegan. . .gluten free. . .OMG, it’s chocolate!! Thanks VERY much for posting this, I’ve printed it and put it in my notebook of favorites. (Nevermind the bookshelf full of cookbooks, either.) I’ll share the recipe but not the product. However, the first time I made it I just put everything into the food processor and hit the switch. It was good, but very crunchy. NEXT Time I read the instructions and let the food processor do its thing for a while and then put the rest of the ingredients in. Yum.
I used two different things: first, I used Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa powder, and a tablespoon of almond oil, because I could not find hazelnut. Oh, well, I have a whole bottle of it to go through. Love that agave syrup, too.
A thousand thanks for an incredible recipe.

This is super good! I only had 2 issues, the ingredients are not cheap and my food processor didn’t get it completely smooth, but those are my issues, not issues with the recipe. The recipe is great!

This recipe was super easy to make and tastes delicious. In fact, I may like it better than regular Nutella, because it is less sweet and I think you really taste the hazelnuts a lot more. I couldn’t find whole hazelnuts at the supermarket, so I substituted chopped hazelnuts from the baking aisle (skipped the roasting step). I also didn’t have hazelnut oil, so I used the same amount of canola oil. Even with those two substitutions, I was able to follow the recipe exactly as written, and it turned out great. It is a little hard to spread.

I thought this tasted better than store-bought Nutella…probably because of the freshly roasted hazelnuts and it being not quite as sweet. Very easy to make. My only issue was as noted in other reviews…I could not get the hazelnuts to the creamy stage and they stayed a little mealy. Delicious.

Thanks for posting this! I can’t have the store-bought b/c of allergies, so I’m excited to try this

Oh, this is awesome. And dairy free to boot!

This is fantastic! Sounds like it will be less sweet and much much cheaper to make…I can’t wait to try this!

Okay, I feel dumb, but what is Agave Nectar? Where can I get it? I really want to try this recipe!

pambala, Agave Nectar is a liquid natural sweetener, a bit sweeter than sugar. You can find it in bottles at your health food store (at least I can, and my local store doesn’t have much of a selection, to say the least!). It also works well for coffee! You could probably substitute corn syrup (guess ONLY, I haven’t made this) but Agave Nectar is quite nice!

agave nectar is also available at my grocery store (kroger), so don’t assume you can’t get it easily. it’s in the baking aisle near the pancake syrup, of all things!

I read up on agave nectar because we were using it a lot and found out that it is just as bad for you as corn syrup!
So it really isn’t worth the extra money.

I still like agave nectar better because it isn’t made from corn. Tequila is made from agave, so it has to be good for you!!

I’m really looking forward to trying this. One of my kids has a peanut allergy, and real Nutella has peanut oil in it, so we can never have it at home. Thanks!
