knockoff nutella

Ok, so this is how I make the nutella knockoff! I love it b/c it's mostly hazelnuts instead of mostly sugar, and there is no added oil at all!

2 cups hazelnuts(filberts)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Place the hazelnuts on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Rub as much of the bitter skins off as possible. Some will come off with surprising ease, others you have to rub pretty hard. Place in blender and blend, scraping down the sides until liquefied. Even with my crappy cheap blender it only took about 2 minutes. The smoother, the better! Then add in the powdered sugar, cocoa, and vanilla and blend again until smooth. I usually use the pulse cycle a few times to make sure the sugar and cocoa don't blow everywhere! Scrape down the sides to make sure that everything is incorporated. The mixture will be quite warm from the blending, and will thicken a little once it cools. Store in the refrigerator. ENJOY!
