1. 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 10-12 minutes until the skins are dark and the nuts are fragrant.
2. 2 Wrap the warm hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel and rub vigorously to remove as much of the papery skin as possible.
3. 3 Place the peeled nuts in a high-speed food processor or blender. Process for several minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the nuts turn into a smooth, liquid nut butter.
4. 4 Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, oil, and salt. Process again until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
5. 5 If the consistency is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of oil until the desired texture is reached. Transfer to a clean glass jar and store at room temperature.
