  • 400g raw hazelnuts
  • 100g 70% dark chocolate, melted
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • pinch of salt

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4 and add hazelnuts to a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 10-12 minutes.

Once removed from the oven, let cool slightly. Pour them into a large tea towel and use your hands to roll the nuts around and remove most of the skins.

Add your skinless hazelnuts to a food processor and blend on low until a butter-like texture is formed. It will take around 10-12 minutes.

Melt your chocolate and sugar in a bain-marie. Pour into the smooth hazelnut butter with your vanilla and salt.

Transfer to a clean jar and store at room temperature for up to a month!
