By hmp13

Ingredients

• 4 ounces peeled toasted hazelnuts
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped and melted

Preparation

Step 1

In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts into a paste. Add the oil, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla and continue processing. Add the melted chocolate and blend well. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer to remove any large grains of nuts. The mixture will be thin and a little warm. Pour into a jar to let cool and thicken slightly. Keeps 1 month, covered, at room temperature.
