Easy Homemade Chocolate Spread (Nut Free!!)

This Chocolate Spread is so good, you’ll want to lick the knife clean! It’s easy to make, uses just a few ingredients, and is naturally NUT FREE, so it’s a great alternative to peanut butter or Nutella.

This has been a fan favorite since 2012 (!!!) but this year I’ve updated the recipe and developed two variations by popular demand: dairy-free chocolate spread, and sugar-free chocolate spread!
