Chocolate, hazelnuts and maple syrup, OH MY! I can honestly say I’ve never tasted something so heavenly in my entire life.

It’s not only the most delicious food in the entire world, but it’s also super easy to make!

Is anyone else drooling? I sure am.

I can’t believe this chocolate hazelnut spread is healthy. It’s incredibly nutritious, with only 80 calories and only 3.3 grams of sugar, compared to Nutella’s 100 calories and 10 grams of sugar.

Nutella has been my biggest weakness throughout the years. On countless occasions, I’ve eaten an entire roll of Ritz crackers with a heaping pile of Nutella on every cracker. Now, I can eat a ton of healthy Nutella without any guilt.

This is an example of a slightly thicker Nutella. The less you blend the Nutella in the food processor, the thicker it will be. I prefer mine a bit thicker because you can really taste the hazelnuts better that way.

 I don’t have to tell you that spreading Nutella on toast is truly the way to go!

This chocolatey spread is great with strawberries and bananas. i dipped strawberries in it and wiped it on a banana for breakfast. It was delicious!

This healthy chocolate hazelnut spread is:

Creamy

Nutty

Heavenly

Completely guilt-free

Great on basically everything!

Oh my god this is life changing! Nutella is one of my biggest weaknesses — probably the biggest weakness of them all — and this is such an amazing way to enjoy it guilt free! I’m going to need to make a big jar of it ASAP (and probably eat it all in one sitting, of course)!

I’m so glad! It truly is TO DIE FOR! And, don’t worry about eating the whole jar. I finished mine in less than 2 days 😉

Would it be possible to get the amount of chocolate in grams as it’s hard to know how much 1/2 cup is when you’re cutting it from a block.

Thank you!

I found on the internet that 1/2 cup chopped chocolate is roughly 85 grams. I’ve never worked with grams, though. If you buy a large dark chocolate bar, it will be enough for you to chop it and measure 1/2 cup.

Thanks for replying AND I just noticed it’s 1/3 cup not 1/2.
OH well! I guess it’s a rough estimate anyway, right?!
