Guilt Free Hazelnut Spread

I love hazelnut spread. Nutella is one of my favorite indulgences. It’s creamy, salty, sweet and… heavenly. What I don’t love is how much it costs, and how it tends to stick to my waistline. Its delicious, but I’ve been trying to cut out sugar whenever I can for myself and for my son. I knew I could make my own hazelnut spread- but I had no idea how easy it is to make, without any sugar or dairy- and still taste just as good as the fancy stuff. I am always going to make it this way- it is fresh,

package roasted hazlenuts
pinch sea salt
1/2 cup agave syrup
2 tbsp coconut crystals (or 2 tbsp sugar or brown sugar if you are not on a sugar free diet or cannot find coconut crystals)
2tbsp cocoa powder
(1 tbsp coconut oil, optional)

The nitty gritty: you’re pretty much just going to dump everything in your blender. I like to put the hazelnuts in first. I also recommend using a food processor if you don’t own a vitamix blender- or any...
