2 Ingredient homemade nutella

I know.. it's not the absolute healthiest thing, but it's better than the stuff at the store and everyone needs a treat every now and then. Right? It's also not the cheapest. The recipe calls for 8oz of hazelnuts and some dark chocolate. At my store (Stop N Shop) an 8oz container of hazelnuts is about $7 soooo this is more expensive than the Nutella you can buy. This is why you can make it and use it just every now and then, instead of buying a jar and devouring the whole thing in one night (I've been there too).
Here's the recipe, enjoy on toast, banana, apple or on a spoon :)

Ingredients:
8oz hazelnuts (raw or roasted)
1-2oz your favorite dark chocolate (for vegan we use Endangered Species 3oz bar and use 4 squares)

Directions:
1. If you go with the raw hazelnuts, you'll have to roast them in the oven at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes first.

2.Place hazelnuts into a high power blender or food processor and pulse for a total of approximately 4-5 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds or so to scrape down the sides.

3. Once hazelnuts have formed hazelnut butter, pour into a bowl and stir in chocolate. Hazelnut butter should be warm from being blended for so long, so the chocolate should melt with consistent stirring.

4. If chocolate doesn't melt, place mixture in a saucepan over the stove and stir until melted.

5. Enjoy!
