So I might loose all my foodie cred for telling you this but I don't like Nutella. I honestly don't understand the appeal. When I saw this week's recipe was chocolate hazelnut spread I was not excited. However, I do love peanut butter and when I had the idea to replace the hazelnuts with peanuts, then I was super excited!
I urge anyone who loves the chocolate peanut butter combo to do this. It is so easy and delicious. You just whir peanuts, cocoa powder, sugar and a bit of oil in the food processor and you come out with this rich and yummy spread.
I also used the spread to make scones, based on the Nutella scones from baked. Instead of chopped hazelnuts, I used mini chocolate peanut butter cups. Insane!

ReplyDeleteOMG!!! I do love nutella, but the idea of switching out the hazelnuts for peanuts does sound wonderful! I would totally make it with peanuts! Great idea.

ReplyDeleteI love your idea, and want to try it with almonds.... or macadamia nuts. I don't like Nutella either!
