Preheat oven to 400 F. Pour 1 cup of hazelnuts on a foil lined cookie sheet. Roast in oven for about 8-12 minutes. When hazelnuts are slightly cool, rub between your hands by the handful and watch the skins fall off.
Grind nuts in a food processor or high speed blender. Add remaining ingredients and continue to blend until smooth.
And for a bonus treat: Chocolate spread strawberries. Cut the top and scoop the inside of the strawberry just until you see the hollow inside. Spoon your homemade chocolate spread in the strawberry.
