INSTRUCTIONS

For hazelnut butter

• Start by making hazelnut butter with the NutraMilk:
  • Place hazelnuts and salt in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 15-16 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid. If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a
  • creamier butter
• In a large saucepan, mix everything, except for the hazelnuts, together. Melt over low heat while frequently stirring.
• Meanwhile, prepare a 9"x5" loaf pan with a piece of parchment paper.
• Once the mixture is melted, add 3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts, if using. Pour the fudge into the prepared pan. Let sit for about 20 minutes and then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup chopped hazelnuts over the top of the fudge.

• Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. You can cut this when cold but it's easier when at room temperature. Store at room temperature for 1 day and then refrigerate. Enjoy!
