      Can you just substitute equal amount of hazelnuts for the almonds to make a hazelnut spread like Nutella or wld you need to add some additional ingredients to get good flavour. Would the hazelnuts be best toasted.
      I love hazelnuts lol!
      Thanks Sharon

        Hi Sharon
        Thanks for your question. Yes, hazelnuts should work fine. It will be significantly less sweet than Nutella and you may need to add a little more oil, if it’s too dry.

        Warm regards
