Jar of homemade chocolate hazelnut spread with piece of bread and knife

INGREDIENTS

¼ Tablespoon (60 Tablespoon) peanut oil

1 Tablespoon (150 Tablespoon) milk chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon (150 Tablespoon) bittersweet chocolate, or dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the peanut oil and hazelnuts into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then increase speed to Variable 8 and remove lid plug. Insert the tamper and press the ingredients towards the blades.
2. After about 1 minute, when a smooth butter has formed, add the chocolate a little at a time through the lid plug opening, tamping only if necessary.
3. Once all of the chocolate has been added, increase speed to its highest setting and run for an additional 20-30 seconds. Cool in refrigerator to thicken before serving.
