[@theladyoftheinvisibleempire]

Bananas. Rice cakes. Apples. Plain mixed with peanut butter. So many favorites!

[@KeaneLuvr]

I need another deodorant because a brand I liked is causing a rash. I have very sensitive skin. I tried another vegan deodorant, and um...it did not work. Thank you for the code! I bought a sensitive stick, and I hope it works!

[@akastardust]

the thought of it being still warm and more nutty and less sugary is very compelling! Thank you, Emmy.

[@ClanImprobable]

Agree!

[@eleonorazampilli245]

As a matter of fact, Nutella recipes vary slightly from country to country, in order to meet the local taste (source: a Ferrero employee who was in charge of sourcing hazelnuts for Nutella). Also, the bite sized chocolates you tried at the beginning are called "gianduiotti" (pl). Gianduia refers either to crema Gianduia (the spread) or the kind of chocolate, as in dark, milk, white, Gianduia. Loved the video!

[@spencerkieft6021]

The Nutella they sell in the USA is tasty but it would be much better if it had much more hazelnuts and much less sugar.

[@skyd.2084]

And vegetable oil yuck 🤮

[@sageisnotaplant99]

I also wish there wasn’t dairy in it

[@anathemagrim3145]

Agree. I've tried the american one and I hate it, the one made locally in my country is way better precisely because it has more nuts and less sugar

[@laneatkinson6441]

I agree!! I love hazelnuts, but they're not shown much love (at least where I live)...I also love Brazil nuts but apparently they're a bit radioactive and you shouldn't eat too many 😅

[@sakiamira]

Seriously why does Americanized version of food products Have to have more sugar than the normal daily amount?

[@regisspeaks1497]

I just brought home a bag of filberts and was looking up recipes to make homemade Nutella. This is perfect timing! Also, that discoloration in the chocolate is just the cocoa butter that was added to the chocolate melted and separated within the chocolate. It isn't spoiled or anything and will never affect the taste of the product. I used to work in a chocolate factory 😊😁

[@xrashtiks]

With the amount of palm oil in it, I contend that Nutella is little more than chocolate flavored Vaseline. Palm oil is the second ingredient after sugar! Never been a fan. This sounds delicious.

[@CarolAnnEdie]

This is the comment I was looking for. I would love to buy Nutella if it didn't have palm oil

[@FROBcom]

Some of the Italian chocolate spreads with the most hazelnut percentage are Baratti & Milano with 51% hazelnuts and Crema Novi, which is very popular at 45%. The Caffarel you are tasting here comes pretty close at 40% but it looks a bit harder than Crema Novi.

Don't wash the blender yet! Add milk and blend it with the residual Nutella first.

[@gwentracy4751]

Great idea!

[@agirlsinger]

So happy to know you have your sense of taste back Emmy!!

[@asugarholicslife]

I had a homemade nutella recipe that is similar to this one, but I used baking chocolate in addition to cocoa powder. had to make it in a food processor because I don't have a vitamix blender. This one looks like I'm going to try it!

[@careena8242]

The Nutella we get here in South Africa is mostly sugar and palm oil (!) with only 13% nuts. So no wonder it's only enjoyed by children. :) Your home-made version looks a LOT better. Thank you, Emmy!

[@Ri0woh]

Emmy have you ever thought of making clotted cream? Would be great with the 5 finger biscuit trick from however long ago!

[@acutiff7125]

Yes!!! In the USA it’s so hard to find and it’s something I really miss from UK.

[@lipstickzombie4981]

Used to like Nutella but they americanized that thing so much nowadays all I taste is cooking oil and sugar. The Nutella back in the early 2000's was a lot richer in more ways than one. And before the Muricans in the chat get their pitchforks, I've tasted both the US ones and the earlier European made ones back in the early 2010's. The Euro ones beat the US ones by knockout. 😆

[@roisinohagan1711]

I’ve often wondered if I could make a sugar-free version. Thanks Emmy! I feel empowered to try.

[@susan_halla]

Choc Zero has a very yummy sugar free chocolate spread. It’s divine, but I’ll bet homemade would be even more delicious!

[@drflash36]

Try substituting powdered xylitol or an erythritol-based sweetener for the sugar there. That should work well, IMO.

[@Kerry1958]

I used Spenda or a mixture of Splenda and sugar and it worked fine.

[@drflash36]

@@Kerry1958 My only concern with using those sweeteners is the bulk that would be missing from the mix by using a spoon-for spoon sub like xylitol or the like there.

[@rhonda8231]

That actually looks so amazing. Plus it is a super easy to do.... However, last night I had actually eaten a package of hazelnuts. Would have been smarter to do something with them. But they are so delicious they are my favorite nuts, and I LOVE nuts!

[@melissabrown5318]

Nutella actually used to be sold in health food stores in Ga. I can’t believed it was ever passed off as a Health food

[@tony_25or6to4]

In Piedmont, Italy, where hazelnut spreads came from, there are many great hazelnut spreads and Nutella is considered garbage. It's just sugar and palm oil with very little hazelnuts and cocoa.

[@ilene79]

Crepes, with a thin spread of nutella, fresh cut strawberries and bananas and then some homemade whipped creme. delish

[@theresaromeo5484]

I make a version of this that is low carb n low calorie. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a few yrs ago n changed everything. I control it with diet n exercise n so far don't need meds. I however do like to eat sweets n goodies. Recipe: 3 tbls peanut butter powder, 2 tbls cocoa powder, sugar free vanilla creamer. Use just enough creamer to get the consistency you like . I know this is not Nutella but if you want that taste here is a knockoff. Best part peanut butter has protein n cocoa has antioxidants.

[@lokahi27]

Nutella from Italy is much more tasty, not cloying or to sweet,full of hazelnuts. I don't eat it,my sister does. When my wife and I returned ftom our month long honeymoon in Italy, we brought bag a few bottles. Also quite cheap. This was in 2015, maybe more expensive now.

It’s bloomed chocolate. What she got wrong is that it affects the taste. Blooming will ALWAYS happen to chocolate, it doesn’t affect anything

@@_sick.sad.wxrld_ she said the flavor is correct, just that the texture may have be effected

As a kid living in Japan, it seemed like every little shop had their own version of a chocolate or peanut spread in little plastic deli containers. We used to make our own cheapo version. Peanut butter and honey. Simple and delicious. Add choco syrup for that chocolaty taste. Sonton Peanut Cream or Chocolate cream is a commercial version, but it is heavily processed. There are a ton of others, but couldn't find pics of them online.

[@AquilaLorelei]

Choceur makes a white chocolate coffee confectionary bar and I wonder how it would taste to chuck a square or two of that in your next batch to round out some flavors? Or even - don't laugh! - cotton candy extract replacing ONE of the vanilla extract boops. It'll lighten up some of the "heaviness" the straight chocolate can afford and provide some whimsy and "what IS that?" Without arguing into gross. Of course, there are always the fruit extracts, too, think raspberry, blueberry, orange, strawberry and lime, and maybe something a little more exotic like cinnamon, caramel or mint

[@Error-tr9ke]

This is just a fun project to do. Not to mention, very tasty.

@TigerPrincess "it shouldn't affect the taste but might the texture, that's what happens when you have it shipped in". How is that not the exact same thing you said?

[@tigerprincess1109]

@@CrashBoomBang78 there was a complaint over the fact that it apparently was bloomed when that can't be helped if it's being ordered online. Being bloomed doesn't make a difference. If it tasted the same there shouldn't have been a complaint to begin with. Not judging because of what she prefers, just found it strange that she was saying anything about it to begin.

[@CrashBoomBang78]

@TigerPrincess Okay but texture matters as well? If the taste is great but the texture grainy (for example) that's going to affect the experience. And it does essentially mean the product is now flawed.

[@SandraWeierman]

Too bad I'm allergic to all tree nuts, or I'd try this. I also had a bad allergy to peanut butter, but I outgrew that thankfully. I absolutely love a product called sun butter, which is made from sunflower seeds. I love it, but like most spreads like it, it is expensive. I want to invest in a blender or mixer that can handle nuts and seeds to make my own butters. Great video!

[@_sick.sad.wxrld_]

Bloomed chocolate doesn’t change the flavor profile at all. Chocolate will always bloom in changing temperatures. If u melted it and re tempered it, it would be the exact same.

I can't have Nutella anymore because I became allergic to hazelnuts in my mid-twenties, but my grocery store used to sell a dark chocolate spread that was just as good. But of course they stopped selling it. And I refuse to get the milk cocolate spread I've found since, I'm sure it's WAY too sweet like I find most milk-chocolates these days. Then again, even when I could eat nutella I found it too sweet so I'd always make peanut butter and nutella sandwiches.
