This homemade spread is better than Nutella because it is non-hydrogenated and made with high quality chocolate. Do not skimp on the chocolate and your spread will be an addicting schmear for everything from toast to apple slices. I tried this delicious spread in my Hamantaschen and found a new out of this world Purim treat.

Ingredients:

Dough:
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
1 tablespoons fresh squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt

Filling:
1 2/3 cup hazelnuts
1 3/4 cup whole milk
1 cup powdered whole milk
3 tablespoons honey
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate , chopped (I use Callebaut)
5 ounces milk chocolate, chopped (I use Callebaut)
Pinch of sea salt

Directions:

To make the filling:
Spread the nuts on a baking sheet, keeping the almond separate, and toast the nuts in a 350
