This sounds sooo good but I can't make it. Not that I have any allergies or don't have the tools. I LOVE NUTELLA! I buy it for my son under the condition he hides it well in his room. If I make this, I'll eat it all. I HAVE NO CONTROL somedays. Maybe I'll use 10 chocolate chips and 10 almonds. - 2/7/11

My husband has a Nutella thing, too. Try Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, delicious, not as sweet as Nutella or this recipe and healthier. (Definitely a relative term.) Both are trigger foods for me, however, and cooking this recipe would be Death by Nibbles. Do try to Justin's to avoid this! - 11/17/11

Mix this with some granola (1/3 ratio butter to granola) and drop golf ball sized mounds on some wax or parchment paper. Throw it in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes and you have a yummy grab and go snack. I sometimes toss in some shredded coconut to make it like haystack cookies. Super yummy! - 2/20/12

I made this with pecans and ghiradelli, because it's what I had. It's dangerously tempting! It's gritty like natural nut butter but didn't need oil; Just be patient with the food processor. I want to put it on waffles, toast, pears, ice cream, and in a latte. I'm excited to try it on everything! - 2/8/11

I read a story a long time ago...This is like eating a candy bar. 160 cals for Kroger brand Nutella for 2 tbps then think about even if you add a whole wheat sandwhich round for 100 calories...that's 260 calories...and who can really stop at only 2 tbps...thats why i just don't buy it anymore. - 2/5/13

This is what showed in my "TIPS" section for this Chocolate Almond Butter: On those nights when cooking dinner doesn't seem possible, I reach for this recipe. Change up the beans, cheese or salsa depending on what you have on hand. I love these with black beans, pineapple salsa and pepperjack. WTH?! - 1/17/13

Nutella has 2g protein, 11g fat, and worst of all, 22g carbs--more than twice as many carbs as this recipe. And the first two ingredients in Nutella are sugar and palm oil. There are only 50 hazelnuts in a Nutella jar. Plus, Nutella is made with hazelnuts; almonds are more nutritionally dense. - 12/13/12

I have a comment as to how this is "better" than Nutella, despite the fat/calorie facts. The key here is that the recipe is for almonds rather than hazelnuts and therefore provides better Omega-3 benefits. If the sugar content is a problem for you, might I suggest adding only 1/2 the chocolate chips - 11/25/12

I wish folks would do the math before complaining about the fat & calories. If you divide the yield by the # of servings, you'd get a serving size of 2 tbsp., not 1 tbsp. In which case, YES, it has less calories and fat than Nutella. (As an admitted Nutellaholic, I'm eager to give this one a try...) - 9/6/12

I think perhaps the key in comparing this to Nutella is to concentrate not on the quantity (grams of fat or sugar or calories) bur rather on the quality of the nutrients (non-hyrdogenated oils, real foods) and recall that it's a "better" treat, a "healthIER" choice vs. a staple healthy choice. - 8/8/12

Looks delicious and I love almonds and chocolate chips but I don't eat sugar and am on a moderate calorie diet so wouldn't eat this really. I had made it when I did the no stars rating and just tasted because then I was eating sugar. It was good but just too high in the bad stuff for me to cook. - 8/7/12

Due to mobility issues I have to cut corners when I can so I got someone to go to Winco for me where you can grind your own nut butters (from unprossessed, uncooked, shelled, nothing added nuts) and melted a cup of 70% dark chocolate to mix it with! Just 2 tsp on whole wheat toast satisfies! - 5/24/12

Even easier (and I blogged about this): a jar of organic almond butter or hazelnut butter or whatev; a few tablespoonfuls of cocoa; some Splenda (to taste). Process in food processor. Put back in jar. The nut butters tend to separate into oily layer . . . this emulsifies, no hydrogenation. - 3/18/12

I'm going to have to buy a food processor and try this! I have a huge problem with Nutella. I dip pretzel rods in it, and the next thing I know, the whole jar is gone!!! I try not to buy it, but my BFF (out of state) thinks she is getting me a treat when she sends me gifts. I have to try this!! - 3/10/12

I substituted fat free sugar free chocolate syrup I got from health food store made with double clarified water and dark chocolate to add to the almonds. Almost the same recipe except I added 1t. of EVOO. Tastes great mine I'm sure has more more calories because of olive oil. But I love it. Jem - 2/12/12
