Hi, just wondering if anyone has tried making their own chocolate spread? my boys love it but the shop ones are full of rubbish so I'd like to make my own;)

Sorry don't have a recipie but I was thinking the same thing last night!

The simplest would be a cocoa butter icing mix - butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, or cooled melted chocolate.

Or a nut butter ( peanut/cashew/hazelnut) mix with cocoa. You could make your own or buy a suitable one.

Or maybe use something like a fruit curd and add chocolate to it?

Weirdly I was thinking vaguely about this yesterday morning whilst eating chocolate/nut spread on toast.

Just this morning I was reading David Lebovitz's blog and he had a recipe for Nutella, I'm dying to make it but I just know I'd scoff the lot in one sitting! Here it is.

Ah so my nut butter theory would work. Only problem is no kids here and we can't justify the calories.
