Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

• 1 cup hazelnuts
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tb vanilla extract
• 5 tbs agave
• 1 ts oil (hazelnut oil, canola oil, olive oil)
• a pinch of salt

1. Roast the hazelnuts at 350° for 8-10 minutes until they darken a bit and smell fragrant
2. Transfer the hazelnuts to a towel and rub off the skins if you can (I didn't have a lot of luck with this)
3. In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts to a smooth butter, about 5 minutes, scraping the sides as needed
4. Add the cocoa, agave, vanilla, oil and salt and process until well blended, about a minute
5. Store in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator
