Chocolate Macadamia Spread

[quirkycooking]

Funny, mine is never gritty with the hazelnuts - but that could be because I don't roast them first, just use them raw, skin and all.  This is my recipe here.  I think I'll try it with macadamias next time though!!

This is what I did with my choc hazelnut spread last night...  YUM!!  (Instructions here)

They look amazing. Now I have to go and clean the monitor-it has lick marks all over it.

Now that you mention it Jo, I think that is what I did with my last lot that is smooth. Used RAW nuts. Of course I forgot to write down what I did but that rings a bell as I have raw nuts in my pantry

Went to Macadamia Farm in Wyong last weekend.  Made this, using soy milk. Yum...

Thanks Terstoo!  My boys love Nutella so we made your "macatella" this evening as a better substitute.

Organic macadamian nuts are VERY EXPENSIVE. I'm wondering how to use Hazelnuts. Would I need to take off the skin ?

I would like to give this a go. Do you have to store the spread in the fridge because with Nutella, i would just keep it in the pantry.
