1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (or even better is raw cacao powder which has not been processed at all and retains all the antioxidants and no sugar)
1-2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup

Directions

Place hazelnut butter in a shallow bowl.

Add cocoa powder and mix it into the nut butter with a fork.

Mix in honey or maple syrup. Taste and adjust seasonings. If you need to thin the mixture, add halzelnut oil, walnut oil, or coconut oil (warmed to liquid consistency).

*To make your own hazlenut butter, toast hazelnuts on a cookie sheet in a 400 degrees oven for about 10 minutes. Remove as much of the nut skins as possible in a damp towel, add to a food processor and process into a paste.
