Chocolate-Hazelnut S’mores

(7)

Recipe Intro From thefeedfeed

Chocolate and hazelnut is a flavor combo that we will NEVER get tired of! So when playing around with Ghirardelli’s Fudge Caramel Squares in our s’mores adventures, it was only natural that we whip up a homemade hazelnut butter to spoon over the chocolate. In addition to adding so much flavor and richness, this nut butter serves as the glue that holds it all together, ready to harmoniously blend with the chocolate as you smush it!

Hazelnut butter is as easy as toasted nuts and blending with a little oil, honey and salt until smooth. The trick is patience! It will seem like a chalky paste at first, but keep blending and the natural oils will release and create a velvety puree.

Get ready to go nuts for this nostalgic combo!
