If you want to enjoy the delicious familiar flavor of nutella, but skip out on its unhealthy palm oils, consider making your own at home. It’s super easy (only takes about 15 minutes in a food processor) and you can really taste the ingredients and feel the hazelnut texture. While the stuff from the jar is pretty addicting, this homemade version is an even better replacement.
