Notes
To make the spread taste like Nutella, use the hazelnut flour. If you just want a chocolate spread though, and it doesn't need to a hazelnut flavor, than leave off the flour.To make the chocolate spread nut-free, use sunflower seed butter and leave off the hazelnut flour.Swap maple syrup for another liquid sweetener if you choose. Agave syrup and date syrup also work.For a creamier milk chocolate look and flavor, use dairy free milk instead of water.Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules for a mocha flavor chocolate spread.
