I love the choc hazelnut spread.  I did use dark choc and did roast and grind the hazlenuts separately.  It is delicious.  It does go firm when kept in the fridge, but lasts for ages and I love to spread it over big juicy strawberries and pop them in my mouth.  Yummy!!!!!!  I have found that this is one of the nicest things I have ever tasted.

I tried this one http://www.latimes.com/features/printedition/food/la-fo-nutellarec11a-2009feb11,0,5713208.story last weekend, and it was awesome! I only had enough hazelnuts for half a batch, and found I needed a bit more oil (I just used rice bran oil)

I've bought more nuts today to make more! Really yummy and great for us because it's dairy-free

I did the one as linked by Yamama

Accept, I used cashews, instead of hazlehuts (as we are a failsafe house), and it really does taste like nutella! Mine is grainy though, I did make it into a paste, then added the other ingredients, so will work on that next time, but yum!! The taste is great!

Jo from Quirky Cooking has her version of this.

 It's dairy free and probably a bit healthier.  I made it yesterday and it's yummy, uses coconut butter and rice milk, dark choc and rapadura, and hazelnuts of course.  Worth a look if you want a slightly more wholesome version of nutella which I have never been a huge fan of (too sickly sweet).

The verdict on the spread was yummy, the kids like it. I did however make an alteration to it, instead of just grating hazelnuts, I roasted them and peeled them. I put the sugar aside and then put nuts in for grating for 20sec on speed 9. I then put it on speed 6 and waited for it to liquify. I saw this hint on another recipe (not to do with tmx lol), and thought this might make the difference to the texture. There is still a slight graininess, but am happy with the result. Although next time I will try with a condensed milk.

Followed your alterations and YUMMY SMOOTH nutella - thanks!!!  I didn't peel the hazelnuts though and it still turned out smooth.

This was one of the first recipes I tried when I go tmy TM.  Followedthe EDC - well ok I doubled it *grin* and used half dark , half milk chocolate.  It ended up being a bit graininy - but tasted like ferrero roche in spread form.  We all loved it!

I just made this using tahini instead of nuts (just out of curiosity after seeing it recommended here on about page 2), and it's great!

 I used 70% chocolate and coconut sugar but otherwise all as in the EDC.

Very happy with the tahini variation although I am a big fan of nuts so will probably alternate as I go.

Might try half tahini, half nuts next time.
