It’s back to school and chocolate spread is inevitable in school lunch boxes. But we all know there is no goodness in the store bought Nutella that we spread on the bread and give to our kids on a daily basis. Instead try this homemade hazelnut chocolate spread! Also since Nutella is on the boycott list, don’t fret, just make this Easy and healthy spread! 

I have used 70% dark chocolate, but if you prefer the real deal the 90% dark chocolate, you may do so! Using milk chocolate, semi sweet etc can make it even more delicious, just that there is a lot of add on Sugar! So what I did is, add brown sugar to my choice. Not too much, just a couple of tablespoons (so we know we are in control of what we have!) 

Ever since I made this easy homemade Nutella, my girl always asks for more and I give it to her guilt free (along with other recommended food groups of course!) Flax seeds are loaded with nutrients and omega -3 fatty acids which are vital for the body. 

You just add all the ingredients to a mixer grinder and grind it to a smooth paste. 

If you are using hazelnuts with skin on, post dry roasting, you may transfer the hazelnuts to a dry and cleans kitchen towel and grab the towel and rub off the skin. 

Stays fresh on the counter top in cold climate for 2-3 days, but best to store in the refrigerator and stays fresh upto 1 month ( good luck for it to last that long) 😆

I used the chocolate as it is, you may melt and add it to the grinder too.

Ps: You may add cocoa powder if you like, and also use dates instead of brown sugar
