If you think Nutella is totally awesome, but are bummed that it contains skim milk and whey, you’ll be happy to know there is an item on the market that tastes like Nutella and is dairy free! Archer Farms makes an all natural Creamy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Spread. It can be found at Target. It’s great with bread (or with a spoon). Archer Farms, which makes some other delicious products like fruit strips and fruit bars.
The ingredients are: roasted peanuts, sugar (though I do not know how it was processed), cocoa liquor, molasses, and pure vanilla.
For people who like to keep a pretty healthy household, but fall victim to chocolate cravings, like myself, this is a great item to keep on hand.

That sounds great! Have you tried it yet?
If you’re looking for the hazel-nutty taste and have some time to experiment, you can make the recipe here (but you’d have to replace the whole milk with soy milk): http://www.italyinsf.com/2009/03/13/homemade-nutella/

Peanut Butter & Co. also makes a chocolate peanut butter that’s called Dark Chocolate Dreams (an added bonus: the website states that it’s vegan!) I used to walk by their flagship store in NYC when I lived there, so I have a particular soft spot that PB&C!

Emily: I have tried it and it is amazing. Not too peanut buttery, not too chocolaty. Just right. And thanks for the recipe!
Lily: I haven’t heard of that but it sounds euphoric! I’ll keep my eyes peeled.

I certainly fall victim, and I’ve been looking for a non-dairy nutella alternative. As far as I’m concerned, chocolate + peanut butter = heaven
