How to Make Homemade Nutella | Chocolate Hazelnut Spread Recipe

Serious Mealtimes / Vicky Wasik

Unlike our classic smooth and creamy homemade Nutella this variation has a crunchy bite from caramelized hazelnut chunks. While warm the mixture will be thin and the candies will have a slightly sticky texture. After about 24 hours at cool room temperature (longer if the ambient temperature is warmer) the mixture will firm up quite a bit and the candies will develop a delicate crunch. At this point it can be scooped out with a melon baller to make chocolate hazelnut truffles or simply spread over thick slices of toast. You can also try it mixed into ice cream or stuffed into a delicate crepe.

3 ounces water (about 6 tablespoons; 85 g)
