Store-bought chocolate spreads are often packed with sugar, preservatives, and less-than-ideal oils. But did you know you can make your own delicious chocolate spread at home with just a handful of simple ingredients and a food processor? And the best part? It takes only 10 minutes!

This homemade chocolate almond spread is so easy to make, wonderfully creamy, and full of chocolatey goodness. I use almond butter as one of the main ingredients, but you can easily swap it for any nut butter you like. If your little one has a nut allergy, tahini (sesame seed paste) is a great alternative, too!

🧰 Storage

I like to store this homemade chocolate almond spread in an airtight, sealable jar and use it within a week.

You can also keep it in the fridge for up to a month, but bear in mind that it will become firmer and harder to spread. If refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for a little while before using it to soften.

❓ FAQ

What can I use instead of coconut oil?

If you don't have coconut oil or simply don't like the taste of it, you could use a vegetable oil of your choice like avocado oil.

How can I make the chocolate spread more runny?

If the chocolate almond spread is too thick and difficult to spread, you could add one tablespoon of avocado oil at a time until you get the desired texture.
