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

I'm curious how well this holds up in the fridge. Would you say it will expire after some time, or can it be refrigerated for a long period of time and stay good? Thanks for sharing the recipe. I also love Nutella - it's like frosting to me - but it's TOO good that I'll binge on it. - 2/7/11

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

When I saw this on my start page, I HAD to check it out as I, too, have a thing for Nutella... I'm definitely going to try this! It sounds so much healthier, and if it tastes the same, I'd rather have this. No hydrogenated oils AND I can control the portion by just making a bit for breakfast... - 7/15/13

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

Will try this at some point; LOVE nutella...love it a lot, but, don't like the palm oil, as it's growth in plantations in Indoenesia means orangutans are going extinct due to habitat loss. Will try some variation, maybe with purchased almond butter, maybe homemade; love it as a valentine gift! - 3/14/20
