Gift Ideas #3: Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, dairy-free
This recipe makes six of these cute mini jars. I had trouble tying the bows, so I secured the ribbon to the back of the lid with a dap of hot glue—worked perfectly. I’m including recipe cards for you like I did with the granola. Since these jars are so much smaller I made the…
