Chocolate "New-tella" Spread/Dip

This innovative spread is a wonderful alternative to the sugar-filled chocolate hazelnut spread. Use it as a crepe filling or slathered on whole grain toast or crachers.

Ingredients

• 1 can white or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
• ⅓ cup honey
• ⅓ cup tahini
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or ½ teaspoon sea salt)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1. Drain and rinse beans well. Combine all ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth like brownie batter.
2. Spread “nutella” on the crepe, add strawberries and fold. Serve.
