Chocolate butter
As a child, I loved chocolate butter. It was sold in a package. Delicious on bread or just so. It can be used to bake a cake with as well although I know no one whoever did. At a certain point, it was no longer sold. By now it is back but no longer as a package and I am not sure if the recipe remained the same. Most likely not but you can never be sure because chemicals and bad ingredients in food already started before the second world war. Margarine is a good example. This isn't butter and just like "halvarine" a cheap fake product filled with trans fat and palm fat. Both ingredients which seriously harm your health. Trans fat is already forbidden in several countries and palm fat... Chocolate spread like Nutella is what many eat. It's made out of palm fat, sugar, and a little bit of cocoa and hazelnuts. Sometimes salt and vanilla are added to it. Not real vanilla but the type, the side product, out of the paper industry! Dutch people love chocolate. Next to the different chocolate spreads, we eat bread with chocolate flakes and chocolate sprinkles as well. I am not interested in plastic and glass jars and we make our own chocolate butter. We buy the real butter made out of cow milk, have cocoa and we have sugar.
**Recipe** - 250 grams of real butter - 2 tablespoons of real cocoa (!) - 2 tablespoons sugar
Use butter at room temperature (18°C). Cut the butter in small parts. Stir everything through the soft butter. If you are a sweet tooth you can add more sugar if you like. To us, this is the max of sugar we need/like
**Chocolate butter can be used as a layer for cake too.** The ingredients needed should be: - 250 grams of butter - 130 grams of powder sugar - 40 grams of real cocoa (no Nesquick etc). If you ask me this is way too much sugar but most recipes talk about the same amount. The butter can be saved in the fridge or freezer or at a place of about 8-12°C. You can bake a chocolate cake or cookies with it as well.

With the recipe for chocolate and a little hazelnuts, I already have a homemade nutela. He tried me.
Nutella has cocoa too. I believe you have your own plant or? This is really healthier and cheaper and easy to make.
Real butter and real cocoa! Yes! I like both, and have not tried this, more like never thought of this. Thank you for the recipe dear :)
You are welcome. I need more butter soon. 🤔 Just a slice and let it melt in your mouth is so good.
What does this have though? Does it come close to the taste of real chocolate?
This comes a hundred times closer to real chocolate then the chocolate spread. Unless you are used to cheap fake chocolate brands (do not buy at Spar)
I'm not even sure what the taste of real chocolate is since i mostly enjoy bittersweet chocolate spreads way too much
You mean you enjoy dark chocolate or? We do and that comes most close to chocolate. The rest is mainly sugar and/or hazelnuts what people taste and smell. Not chocolate.
Yes, dark chocolate is my favorite, not too sweet and much healthier than the usual sweetened ones since fewer need for sugar. Hazelnut doesn't get that close to the chocolate taste, you can still differentiate it
