Because of all of those great recipes that I see online, I decided to make this Sugar Free Copycat Nutella like recipe.
That popular chocolate hazelnut spread is everywhere it would seem.

People seem to like their hazelnut spread.
Most homemade hazelnut spreads come with a lot of sugar unfortunately. With that sugar comes the calories and everything else that people, like myself, seem to dread. You may know exactly what I mean.

This spread has certainly made the hazelnut famous however.
Before the hazelnut spread craze, you may not have ever eaten a hazelnut before. I know that I never had one unless it was part of a bowl of mixed nuts that was set out at a party or similar gathering. Hazelnuts actually have a bit of protein and fiber. More than many other nuts as well.

Finding actual hazelnuts can be a challenge

I know that if I were to search locally for a hazelnut, I would totally have a challenge on my hands. Recently, even finding macadamia nuts has been a challenge in these parts. So, I went online to find hazelnuts on Amazon. I was excited to see the Trader Joe brand there as well.

We need our hazelnuts to be roasted.
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 Copycat Nutella recipe.
Since we are sticking to our sugar free idea here, you will need sugar free chocolate chips. Luckily, Amazon also has sugar free chocolate chips for us to use. I go through a lot of these in my cooking and baking…

We will also need some unsweetened cocoa powder.
Be sure to use the cocoa powder with no sugar added. You can find unsweetened cocoa powder on Amazon as well.

I roasted raw hazelnuts in my toaster oven.

It’s okay to buy the raw hazelnuts however. Thus, you can roast hazelnuts yourself in an oven or toaster oven. Simply place them on a baking sheet at 350 for 15-18 minutes. Halfway through, shuffle the hazelnuts around a bit. When they are done, allow to cool and then carefully remove the shells.
