COPYCAT NUTELLA, less than one minute to make

First off let me just say I NEEDED some nutella the other night, and I didn't have any. Which honestly turned out to be a great thing because I just whipped up some of my own, using JUST 3 ingredients I already had handy in the pantry/fridge. Best part, (well debatable) is that I was able to make an amount for only 3 servings, so no binge eating nutella straight from the jar. Am I the last one to discover I can make this at home? Yes, no? For all you hazelnut addicts out there, sorry, the main ingredient in this recipe is almond butter. All you almond butter junkies are now officially running to your fridge/pantry to get started on this almost healthy, protein packed indulgence. Neither me or my husband are huge peanut butter fan, so when I read that almond butter is healthier than peanut butter (think kale vs spinach) I jumped right onto the almond butter train. Almond butter can be expensive, but luckily they carry this two ingredient brand at Costco, so I scooped it right up. Now I join the ranks of almond butter addicts every where.

Let me go ahead and apologize for my shoddy photography skills, everyone once in a while on here you will probably run across an awesome photo. It will be of my son, or perhaps my husband, it will be because a) the subject is well loved by the photographer b) because the subject is too darn cute/handsome to mess up no matter my skill level.
In any case hopefully my content keeps you coming back for more.
Ingredient list.

Ok, so this is one of those to your taste type things. 

I start with a big dollop almond butter, the more "home made nutella" you want, the more almond butter you will want to start with as your base. Then shake in some cocoa powder, again the more chocolate flavor you want the more cocoa powder needed. Then add in some honey (local preferable but any will do, maple syrup acceptable substitute) the sweeter you want your spread, the more honey add, should you. Sorry just got done with my weeky jedi training session. Anyway….local honey is the best because it helps with seasonal allergies, tastes even sweeter now, doesn't it? I picked mine up for a great price at Nutrition Stop.

Now all you do is stir, (taste and adjust to your liking)  

Slather generously on hot toast, and YUMMO!

I told you less than one minute:) 

NUTELLA, from scratch...
