A raw version of Nutella: a delicious, European, chocolate-hazelnut spread.

Nutella, in its original form, was first created in the 1940s by Mr. Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker and founder of the Ferrero company. At the time, cocoa was in short supply because of rationing due to World War II, so chocolate was very limited. So Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts, which are plentiful in the Piedmont region of Italy (northwest), to extend the chocolate supply.

A very yummy spread on a banana!

Quantities of cocoa/carob, vanilla, salt, sweetener, and oil may be adjusted to taste.

This would undoubtedly work at least as well and be a touch healthier with nuts soaked overnight, but I was looking for instant gratification. Having now tried it with soaked nuts, it works. But use it up fast because it doesn’t hold the hazelnut flavor very long.
