Nutella?!

[AliciaInTX]

Mmm...I'm thinking a nutella-like substance would be pretty awesome on GG Crispbreads! Nutty, creamy, chocolaty and sweet. Thoughts, Umpa?

I love flavored peanut butters.You could very easily melt unsweetened bakers chocolate and some Zero till desired sweetness and mix with peanut butter.

Hi Morgan, this nutella recipe looks amazing!   
 

[umpa]

I will make this today Morgan I have some hazelnuts I need to use up.Will report back

[umpa]

Hazelnuts are wicked hard to skin

[shawn116]

How are you skinning them Umpa?  If you put them in boiling water with some baking soda for a few minutes.  Then rinse, they should slip right off     I couldn't remember where I read it but here is a great example of how they did it.  http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/504535

This recipe was a complete failure! It tasted like stale brownie mix. Added a cup of milk and still couldnt get the right consistency.I think if I had to do it over again I would use hazelnut flour/meal. That way you could get the consistency you want.First I tried to get the skins off in the oven Toosweet then I used the baling soda and boiling water.

oh no    how disappointing.

Was going to have a try and planned on using hazelnut meal as I have half a bag leftover from a previous recipe.
Will give it a go and let you know.

[umpa]

Make a half recipe morgan.It should work with the hazelnut meal(Flour) It didnt work with fresh hazelnuts(filberts).

Hey guys, a couple of you mentioned Zero?? to use in the recipe. What is that? lol

[umpa]

It is a sweetener,the only one you really need.No tummy issues.I love sweet tea and its the only sweetener I use.

Hi, Mare!

One the right side of your screen, you should see a large bottle of Zero.
Just click over there, scroll down to it, and order away!
