Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

Gives your Empower Bar a delicious spin, and pairs nicely with the coconut flavorings in the bar. If used on a V Bar it helps to great the perfect salty sweet taste and complementary textures.

Ingredients
  

  • 2½ - 3 cups raw hazelnuts
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread hazelnuts evenly on baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
  • Transfer hazelnuts to high-speed blender, increasing speed until hazelnuts are very finely chopped (~3 minutes).
  • Once chopped, use the tamper to continue to blend until the mixture starts to form a "butter" consistency.
  • Add the cocoa or cacao and vanilla extract and continue to blend on medium until desired consistency.
  • Transfer to a mason jar and allow mixture to return to room temperature before storing.
