Looking for a Nutella substitute?

Question

This cake sounds delicious. However, I loathe Nutella. Do you have any suggestions for a substitute? If not, I could easily just use a different topping.Thanks so much,A

I think any nut butter with chocolate would work.  I have seen chocolate almond butter, even chocolate pecan butter.  As a last resort, you could make it yourself if you have a food processor.  Lots of recipe on the internet for chocolate nut butter.  And then you could control the sweetness.  :)

Correction: it would be that same product but it's from:
www.maisondellanocciola.com
I use a couple of sources for my ingredients & accidentally noted the incorrect site for this particular product.
I know you said you hate hazelnuts, but I put in the correction for other who might read this post.

Likestocook -Another direction - smooth peanut (or any other nut) butter. You could use it as is, or mix with some melted chocolate.

Thanks. But I’m looking for something that doesn’t contain hazelnuts. Really don’t like the flavor.

I suggest:
Maison Nocciola Crema Gianduja from www.dolceterra.com
For myself I prefer the dark chocolate version. But, I believe they have a milk chocolate version as well.
It is definitely superior in taste & texture to Nutella. :)
