Have you tried my 3 Ingredient Sugar Free Fudge Pops?

Certainly, both this recipe for hazelnut spread and that frozen chocolate pops are easy and delicious to eat recipes.
However, this recipe is really more of a spread, dip, or ingredients and not a frozen treat.

I am always looking for a great way to store the food that I make.

I always ask what makes Nutella so good?

I mean, people seem to go nuts (pun intended?) over putting it on food or in recipes.
Sometimes I have to think that it is a cult in itself because of its popularity.

The truth is that I never tried it because of the sugar that is in it.

I wanted to try eating it and baking with it.
As a result, I figured out how to make a sugar free hazelnut spread for myself.

Here are some of the ingredients that you will need to make this hazelnut spread .

Obviously, since this is a hazelnut spread, you will need hazelnuts. You thankfully can find hazelnuts online. To roast hazelnuts, simply place them into a toaster oven. or regular oven, and roast at 350 for 15-18 minutes. You can use a regular baking sheet to roast them on.

You will also need some chocolate chips for this sugar free recipe.
You can find sugar free chocolate chips online. For a richer flavor, you can use a dark chocolate sugar free chocolate chip.

Here are some tips for making this sugar free hazelnut spread.

I just mentioned that you can find hazelnuts online. I also mentioned that the hazelnuts should be roasted at 350 for 15-18 minutes.

Here are some more tips for you.

1. Since first posting this recipe, there have been new developments, well products, in the world of sugar free chocolate chips. At one time there was only milk chocolate sugar free chips. However, today there are other varieties of sugar free chocolate chips to choose from. I like the idea of mixing up the chocolate chips (half of one kind with half of the other) in order to get both a rich tasting and smooth hazelnut spread.
2. Another option is to use ⅔ of a cup of hazelnuts with ⅓ of a cup of another nut such as almonds. You can really make this a flavorful treat by doing so!
3. The standard way of making a spread such as this one is to use a food processor or a strong blender (I use a Vitamix). This will ensure that your ingredients get processed evenly and smoothly.

Here is how to store your copycat sugar free Nutella or hazelnut spread.

Normally, you could open up a jar of the original product and store it in the pantry and not refrigerated as it will become too hard to spread (peanut butter syndrome as I call it). Since this homemade version has no preservatives added to it, I would suggest storing it in a sealed jar in the refrigerator and allowing it to sit at room temperature to soften up before using it.
