This Nut Free Chocolate Spread has that delicious chocolatey nutty taste without using any nuts at all! It requires only two ingredients that are also gluten free and vegan and takes minutes to make. Whether you spread it on toast, use it to stuff cookie recipes or to dip your fruit into, this Nut Free Chocolate Spread will be a favorite in your household!
Being nut free does not mean giving up on amazing tasting chocolate spreads. Nutella is a chocolate spread that is beloved by so so many. But what can you do if you can’t have nuts? You can make your own chocolate nut free butter spread in a matter of minutes.
This recipe makes a small batch enough for toast for two people just like my Chocolate Chip Mug Cake. Of course you could always increase the ratios to make enough for your entire family.

How to Make Nut Free Chocolate Spread
Here are the step by step instructions to make this spread!
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate and Wow Butter
Place the wow butter and chocolate chips in the same small microwave safe bowl.
Heat in 15 second increments, stirring after each time until completely melted.
Step 2: Serve
You can use the spread right away while it is liquidy or you can wait till it solidifies a bit.
Expert Baking Tips
- Melt Slowly- If you rush this process and try to even heat the chocolate and wow butter in 20 second increments (instead of 15 second increments), you can overheat the chocolate. If that happens it will seize up and basically not be usable.
