Roast 2 cups of raw hazelnuts in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until they start to brown. Remove, allow to cool, and then rub them in a clean towel to remove as much of the skins as possible. Add them to the bowl of a food processor or high speed blender and mix with: 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1.5 T of vanilla, 1/4 t of salt. Mix until desired consistency is reached; if it seems too think, add a little milk of choice or oil while blending. Store in refrigerator if you do use milk... and if you do have any left over!
