IIRC, nutella is hazel nut butter... like peanut butter... might
have chocolate in it, too...

I didn't notice any chocolate in the recipe I looked at but instead unsweetened cocoa powder which is not quite chocolate ... if I am not mistaken. Perhaps chocolate might be a good (better?) substitute.
I'd probably give it a try. :-)

Unsweetened cocoa powder is an ingredient of dark or milk chocolate...

Hold on ... I now see a recipe at https://www.splendidtable.org for homemade nutella that calls for 12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped.

That would be a reasonable shortcut... ;)

been years since i had any...

I think I had it once when I was a young lad way back when. If I am
not mistaken we spread it on toast as a butter substitute but then

It can be used as a substitute for peanut butter on toast, too... I used
to just eat it by the spoonful out of the jar... ;) Or swirl it onto my finger... ;)

switched back to regular butter since butter *is* better ... although vegans will probably disagree with me.

I wouldn't use it as a substitute for butter... nothing beats butter
melting into hot toast... :) Maybe sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar as
a treat.... yum... ;)

Hallo Nancy!

homemade nutella that calls for 12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped.

That would be a reasonable shortcut... ;)

An acceptable one too although most hardcore Vegans would disagree because of the milk.

nothing beats butter melting into hot toast...

Hot butter melting into/onto almost everything is a good thing. :::patent pending:::

Maybe sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar as a treat.... yum... ;)

Sure but you had me at "butter melting into hot toast".

Het leven is goed,

Perhaps... but then Nutella isn't really a Vegan treat anyway... :)

Can't patent that one... too many others are already using that
statement... :)

Got stuck on that, did you...? ;)

For sure... :) Lacto-vegetarian, maybe, but not vegan... ;)

Hardcore vegans don't use any products derived from animals such as
milk, cheese, etc.

those are vegans... all others are vegetarians of one type or
another... "vegan" is not short for "vegetarian" ;)

Thank you for jumping in with this... saved me having to do the entire explanation myself and yours is much more in depth than I likely would
have gone into.... :) I have friends and family that subscribe to one
level or other of this, from vegan all the way to pescatarian.... and of
course many others that tend to be some sort of flexitarian...

So that was your source... :)
