Homemade Nutella—need I say more? As mindblowingly mouthwatering as it is, this favorite chocolate-hazelnut spread isn’t that hard to make. And with a few easy ingredient upgrades (like raw cacao in place of ordinary processed chocolate), you’ll be dipping into or spreading on something that’s not just addictive, but actually good for you. Now will someone please pass the spoon?
