Nutella

Nutella and I have issues. The main issue is that I can hardly stop eating the stuff.

Whats a girl to do?

Oh yah! Make it herself so she can eat more of it!

Other than needing a food processor for this, it really is very easy! I recommend making some, putting it on toast, oatmeal, and also sneaking several spoonfuls into your mouth when no one is looking! =)

Homemade Nutella
Poires au Chocolate

150g whole hazelnuts
100g good quality milk chocolate
2 tbsp cocoa powder
65g icing sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
a few drops vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 180C and roast the hazelnuts for about 5-10 minutes, until fragrant and browned. Take out and leave to cool slightly before putting in a tea towel and rubbing vigorously to remove the skins. When they have cooled slightly place in a food processor and blend well until they become a thick paste. Add all the rest of the ingredients and keep blending until very smooth - this takes 10 minutes or so.
