Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roast hazelnuts: Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and roast for 10–12 minutes until fragrant and slightly darkened. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Rub hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
Make nut butter: Place peeled hazelnuts in a food processor and blend for 5–7 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth.
Add ingredients: Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, oil, vanilla, and salt. Blend until fully combined and creamy.
Optional: Add melted dark chocolate and blend briefly to incorporate.
Store: Transfer to a clean jar and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Notes

For a smoother texture, strain the final spread through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the best flavor.
Adjust sugar to taste depending on your sweetness preference.
