Chocolate hazelnut spreads are very popular these days but they are loaded with fats and preservatives. I was able to use my Blendtec Blender to make my own version that was much healthier. Using my Blendtec Blender with the Twister Jar I was able to make a simple mixed nut butter by putting the ingredients below in the Twister jar and blending at the #7 speed for about 60 seconds. It was just as delicious as the processed version but I was able to pronounce all of the ingredients. These are the basic ingredients I used but you can adjust to your tastes. It is great on a slice of whole grain toast, spread on a slice of apple, or even as a topping on ice cream.
Chocolate Mixed Nut Butter-
1 cup of raw almonds
1 cup hazelnuts
2 Tablespoons of coconut oil
1 tsp of vanilla
2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder
1 /4 tsp of kosher salt
2 Tablespoons of sugar (I used Stevia instead)
