YIELD about 2 cups

Instructions

Place the chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over simmering water; heat and stir until smooth and melted. Alternately, you can place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short bursts until the chocolate is soft and melted. Set the hot melted chocolate aside to cool to warm.
Place the almonds in your processor. Process until they are well ground. Take a peek, then process again until the mixture is creamy like peanut or almond butter.
Add melted chocolate, oil, sugar, cocoa, and vanilla. Process again until all is well- combined and smooth. Taste and add salt, as desired. Pour the Nutella into a jar. Let cool at room temperature. Place a lid on top and store at room temperature. (see *Tips below) Consume it all within 2 weeks!
