Steps

1

On a baking tray, place the hazelnuts.
spread it around and bake in a pre heated oven at 200c for about 10 mins.
keep an eye on the hazelnuts, after 8 mins it can get burnt very easily.
once the hazelnuts have cooled a bit, add it to a food processor.
grind the hazelnuts at high until the hazelnuts releases it’s oil.
2

This will take about 10-13 mins depending on your food processor.
always use a food processor to grind the nuts, this needs a high powered motor.
chop the chocolate into tiny pieces.
using a double boiler method or in a microwave, melt the chocolate.
once the hazelnuts start to release oil, the texture changes to a runny mixture.
3

At this point add the melted chocolate and mix both together.
transfer into a clean jar and homemade Nutella is ready to use.
this recipe makes the Nutella mildly sweet. If you like more sweet, then add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar while mixing the chocolate and hazelnuts.
at this point you can even add vanilla extract, cinnamon or orange extract.
the nutella can be stored at room temperature and it stays runny, best to spread on toast,crepes or baking.
can be stored up to 15-20 days.
4

Grinding the hazelnuts into really smooth paste, depends on your mixer. I could not achieve 100% smooth paste, but the slightly grainy texture felt more like eating Ferrero Rocher.
