powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is typically cheaper and has a neutral flavor.

Toast 1 cup of hazelnuts until warm and then pour them onto a clean kitchen towel.

Rub the hazelnuts together in the towel to release the skins, leaving some skin on is okay.

Filter out the skins and add the hazelnuts into a blender.

Add 12 oz of melted milk chocolate to the blender.

Add 2 tablespoons of neutral flavored oil (or hazelnut oil for more flavor).

Add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the blender.

Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture.

Add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.

Add 3/4 teaspoon of fine salt to the blender.

Blend all ingredients until finely ground, using a spatula to wipe down the bowl as needed.

Pour the Nutella into mason jars for storage.

Store the Nutella in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

If desired, push the Nutella through a fine mesh sieve to smooth it out before serving.
