Home-made Chocolate Spread

Ingredients
Hazelnuts or almonds 150 grams
Chocolate 200 grams
Icing sugar 1 cup
Cocoa powder ½ cup
Oil as required

Method
Preheat your oven to 180°C or 350°F.
Pour your hazelnuts or almonds into a baking tray and roast them on the middle shelf for about 10mins.
While your nuts are toasting, break up your chocolate and melt using a bain marie.
Keep an eye on your hazelnuts or almonds, once they start to go brown, they're ready. 
Take them out and leave them to cool a little.
Once they do, add your dry ingredients, poor in your melted chocolate and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Keep it whizzing for a good 10-15mins to get rid of any lumps.
You want a smooth, molten mixture, not a sort of thick cookie dough.
