½ cup of hazelnuts
1 cup of almonds
¼ cup of powdered sugar
½ cup of cocoa powder (I used dark cocoa powder)
Tablespoon of vegetable oil
Pinch of salt (tsp)
Teaspoon of vanilla extract
Chocolate to melt (optional)
Food processor (Ninja blenders work great)
Concealed jar
Optional: Hershey's kisses, paper, markers, packaging tape, and scissors if you’d like to create a logo or label for your personal chocolate spread.
Begin by collecting your hazelnuts and almonds.
- Buy them raw or roasted from online or possibly a local store.
or
- Buy them roasted in mixed packages of nuts, including almonds.
I bought my hazelnuts roasted, however if you get them raw you must roast and peel the hazelnuts for the best flavor.
Some of my hazelnuts were left with skin so I roasted them more, to easily flake the skin off.
Set to bake at 350 degrees for 10- 15 min.
Place the hazelnuts and almonds inside the blender.
Blend until it becomes like a peanut butter paste.
After you've blended the nuts, add the oil and the optional melted chocolate first.
Add the Chocolate bar of choice
After you've blended the chocolate and the oil it should look like this.
Now, it is time to add the rest of the ingredients!
Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, pinch of salt, and vanilla extract.
Blend until it turns into a creamy spread. Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder as desired for a thicker paste.
Conceal your personalized hazelnut and almond chocolate spread in a storage jar and enjoy:)
Flip your jar upside down so the lid is laying against a piece of paper.
Trace around the lid to make sure the label is the right size for your jar.
After tracing the circle, lift up the jar and draw another circle inside, parallel to the outside circle and about 1 cm smaller.
This is so when you lay your tape on top to seal your label it covers past the paper.
Be creative and craft your label inside of the circle. You can do it on paper, or digitally if you'd like to and have the option.
If you create it digitally, measure and understand the width and height of the circle compared to the paper size.
Make sure you know the size of your paper and it is the same size as the document you're making your label on and printing out on.
Trace out another circle of the lid of the jar.
Layout strips of packaging tape covering the circle, and make sure the sticky side is facing up!
Cut out the circle, so the tape is the same size.
Place your paper label on top of your lid and stick the tape evenly on top.
