While the company that makes the store-bought stuff markets their spread as a breakfast spread, this is really a dessert item. Our recipe is made mostly of hazelnuts and cocoa powder, but it's still a sweet dish that doesn't really offer you a ton of vitamins and minerals to qualify as a breakfast food, in my opinion. You can, of course, use this chocolate hazelnut spread over breakfast dishes like pancakes and waffles. It's a delicious way to make breakfast a sweet treat!
