Re the graininess, here are suggestions:
–grind the nuts for 8 to 10 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor/blender.
–Use a smaller appliance for grinding or double the ingredients. Size matters.
–instead of cocoa, substitute dark chocolate (melted before adding.)

In reply to Janis. No I haven't, as I was trying to imitate Nutella, which is made with hazelnuts...

Have you tried it with any other nuts? Where I live hazelnuts are very expensive.
Thank you

Hi, So I used this recipe and I just have 2 questions about it.
1. Should we use bee honey for this recipe or any other type of honey like sugarcane.
2. My mixture looked very dry after adding all the ingredients and it’s not creamy and smooth. How can I fix that.

Thanks in advance. It tastes great ?

I heated the oven to 350F, the hazelnuts got burned in less than 10 minutes. 375F is way too high to roast nuts.

I have made this 3 times now. Every time it turns into a rock. It doesn’t even melt on hot toast. What am I doing wrong? I really want this to work.

I just made this recipe and the flavor is delicious but the texture is very grainy. I used 1/4 cup granulated sugar and it tasted to me like the sugar did not dissolve so I processed until it was smoother which took several minutes and my cuisinart got very warm but still it’s grainy. Disappointed.

It was going perfectly through the hazelnuts being ground to butter. Then I added the other ingredients and the liquid separated from the solid, never to be combined again. What happened??

In reply to Kristina. I had the same issue, but I used maple syrup. Tastes good but grainy, clumpy and the oil is separating. Any ideas how to fix?

Can you preserve this for a year or two as food storage?

Hi, thanks for sharing! How long can this homemade version be kept in fridge?

I just made this and it came out super bitter! I had Special Dark cocoa powder so I wonder if that’s the problem. I also had to add way more coconut oil because it was very pastey. Any ideas?

Hi! I am making this recipe right now, and I used raw honey instead of sugar. The hazelnuts themselves were extremely smooth when blended, but after I added the rest of the ingredients, the final product became grainy and clumpy rather than smooth. Was it the honey that did it? I also used carob, as I have a sensitivity to cocoa currently. Thanks!

Hello, it sounds like an interesting recipe. I would like to try it out. But would be so kind as to express the ingredients in grams? I cannot be sure how much a cup really means.
Thank you

I love this simple take on a family favorite! We fell into the Nutella-love a few years ago, but it’s not the best choice (even over peanut butter). So I love this option to make it at home with better ingredients! Thank you!
