"Nutella" Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

My original intention for making my own homemade nutella was to simply make nuts & dark chocolate the main attraction rather than the typical first ingredients of the brand version: sugar & palm oil. But, upon further thought I realized a simple kiss of dates & honey with dark cocoa powder and a ton of roasted hazelnuts were all I needed to make this insanely addictive. This spread is pretty much… dare I say it… healthy. It does require a food processor or I imagine a powerful vitamix style blender. It can be also made quickly if you buy your hazelnuts roasted and peeled. For those wishing it was vegan, up the number of dates or use your favorite sweetener instead such as agave or even stevia. Just do it to taste as I have yet to try anything other than raw, local honey.

Crepes

There is something slightly intimidating about making crepes, but the batter is simple and the rest is just a bit of technique. I always plan to make a few ‘mistake’ crepes to enjoy as a snack (chef’s treat!) to make sure I have added enough salt or butter to the batter. If they are sticking to the pan, try a non-stick pan or add more butter before you pour in the batter. The recipe serves only two or just one hungry dude, so use this as a starting ratio to double, triple or increase as needed.
