One of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures is the one and only original, smooth chocolate hazelnut spread: NUTELLA!
You may have heard that some Western European countries use Nutella in lieu of where Americans use Peanut Butter.
I have seen this to be true, and still cannot fathom the injustice of it all. Can you imagine opening
your grade school lunch box to find a chocolate sandwich instead of
pb&j? Or dipping your pretzels into a mound of chocolate spread.
Since my own personal discovery of Nutella, I am sure I have made up
for lost time. I am finding new ways to use it beyond the slice of
baguette or croissant. Although those are the preferred "modus
operandi", try Nutella on a tortilla rolled up, or the center of a
graham cracker sandwiches. It's incredible when spread on warm toast,
pancakes, crepes, or waffles -- add some sliced strawberries on top and
it's heaven. For a quick taste, dip some pretzels, lavosh, or tasty
crackers in Nutella. What do you like Nutella on?
Use Nutella in recipes! Nutella Bread Pudding, anyone? How about Nutella Cheesecake Brownies? Delish!
Currently, Nutellausa.com is having a sweepstakes for a year supply of Nutella (if you only use ONE jar a month, that is). Go HERE to answer a few questions and enter!
Interesting fact: Nutella outsells all brands of peanut butters combined worldwide! Jump on the bandwagon!
