IMG_0436Have you guys been watching the slope style skiing during the olympics? OMG. I was watching last night and almost had a coronary….multiple times.

I have a hard time NOT freaking out watching regular skiing. But slope style is skiing backwards, doing tricks high up in the air and then landing again backwards.

Is this a new event? I feel like I should have known about this sooner than 12 hours ago.

I think my husband feels kind of the same way because into the first 30 seconds of watching, he said “how do they practice this without, like, dying?”

I have no answer for you, dear husband.

I would most definitely smash my face and die. Guaranteed.IMG_0385This has nothing to do with today’s recipe. Things I talk about on my blog usually don’t have anything to do with food. Just my crazy random thoughts about the olympics.

You’re welcome, America.

ANYWAYS.

I made Cocoa Hazelnut Butter. Not to be confused with Nutella.

This is not Nutella.

It has the same kind of flavors of Nutella, but is like the healthier 2nd cousin.

And by healthy I mean made with real ingredients that are good for you: toasted hazelnuts, honey, sea salt, cocoa powder and olive oil.

IMG_0379All you do is throw everything into a food processor and whirl it up until smooth. I made mine purposely pretty thick, but feel free to add in a little extra olive oil to make it as runny as you’d like.IMG_0389We enjoyed this as an afternoon snack with a few apple slices…quite enjoyable if I do say so myself. Also very tasty just eaten with a spoon.

Not that I did that…. Cough cough.

IMG_0409Have I mentioned I love chocolate lately?

Well I DO.IMG_0431 So creamy, buttery and amazing on just about anything. Try it today 🙂

PS- dip a few strawberries into this for a yummy and healthy Valentine’s Day treat! Mmm….

    i have not made this yet, but was wondering if you had tried coconut oil? I’m thinking the base flavour might be even better with that instead of olive oil. It may change the texture, of course.

    The slope style has been so much fun to watch, but my favorite dude is the one who wears the obnoxiously large clothes. When he fell and his pants were totally off, I just about died laughing!

    I love how simple this spread it – I need to get on the homemade “nutella” train asap. And slopestyle…I love it, but would hate to see any of my kids decide that was their calling 😛

    I don’t really like Nutella, but I’m seriously intrigued by this homemade version! It looks so much better!!

    Slopestyle is new to the Olympics, I love it. You’ve got to see the next winter X-Games to see more of it, no need to wait another 4 years!

    This butter sounds amazing! I can just imagine it now 🙂
