Can one of you who have some Nutella tell me the ingredients? I think I would like to make my own in my Ninja blender with some hazelnuts, cocoa powder, and maybe some coconut oil and whatever else it might need. I guess I'd like to make a "healthier" version of it using my own ingredients but would like to find out what's in it so I can try to make a close dupe.

TIA!

Look in thekitchn.com for a recipe. Note: that's correct - no "e"

Sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skim milk, reduced minerals whey (milk), lecithin as emulsifier (soy) vanillin:an artificial flavor.

I make my own chocolate. Depending on whether it's for a cake icing, a syrup, pudding, or fudge, I use the same ingredients:

Hershey's unsweetened cocoa

Confectioner's sugar/plain sugar

Corn starch

Butter/Smart Balance

Milk (amount dependent upon what version I am making)

vanilla

This recipe of Nutella sounds yummy. Maybe you can adjust to make healthier.

Better Than Nutella (Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread)

• 2 cups (heaping) hazelnuts, preferably skinned (about 10 ounces)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 pound semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces, room temperature
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Preheat oven to 350°. Spread out nuts on a rimmed baking sheet or in an ovenproof skillet. Roast, shaking sheet once for even toasting, until deep brown, 13-15 minutes. Let cool completely. (If nuts have skins, rub them in a kitchen towel to remove.)

• Grind hazelnuts and sugar in a food processor until a fairly smooth, buttery paste forms, about 1 minute.

• Place chocolate in a medium metal bowl. Set bowl over a large saucepan of simmering water; stir often until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove bowl from over saucepan; add butter and whisk until completely incorporated. Whisk in cream and salt, then hazelnut paste.
• Pour gianduja into jars, dividing equally. Let cool. (Gianduja will thicken and become soft and peanut butter-like as it cools.) Screw on lids. DO AHEAD Gianduja can be made up to 4 weeks ahead; keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature for 4 hours to soften. Can stand at room temperature up to 4 days.

Found another Nutella recipe using the Vitamix if you have one. It only uses roasted hazelnuts & dark chocolate from Trader Joe's. Instructions for roasting hazelnuts is here. http://joyofblending.com/homemade-nutella/
