HANDMADE NUTELLA 
5 ounces toasted and peeled hazelnuts
1/8 cup sugar
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate  
4 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
Large pinch kosher salt
 
Preheat an oven 350F.  Place hazelnuts on a sheet pan and toast in preheated oven for 8 minutes.  Remove the pan from the oven and allow nuts to cool.   In a food processor, grind the hazelnuts and sugar until fairly smooth, buttery paste forms, about 1 minute.
 
Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the butter until completely incorporated.  Add the cream and salt stirring to combine.  Add the hazelnut paste and stir well to combine.
