In addition to my first chocolate nut spread recipe - made with almonds - this hazelnut version is like the original Nutella. As highlighted in the previous post, the first ingredient in Nutella isn't nuts, but sugar! A two tablespoon serving has 200 calories, 12g fat and 21g sugar. Full nutritional information is here.
I love snacking, so spreading this healthier alternative to Nutella on top of rice cakes makes a tasty treat. A 30g serving of the recipe below only has 119 calories and less than 9g fat and just over 5.5g sugar.
