Nutella.

[Horse with no Name]

Is this good?

[Warpy]

1. Some people love it enough to eat whole jars with a spoon

It's too icky sweet for me.

Besides, I like my chocolate dark, bitter, and unadorned.

[GoCubsGo]

2. I love it.

But, I can only eat half a jar with a spoon. ;-) It's good in small doses. I like it on fruit, such as apples or bananas.

5. Very good on fruit.

3. I bathe in it. I love it. I think of it as a food group.

By the way, it isn't chocolate, even though it tastes chocolaty. It is hazelnut butter with a small (but intense) bit of cocoa in it.

4. I suspect you've got the idea, from the other comments.

Fergit p'nut budda!!!

6. The only thing I don't like about nutella is them marketing it...

...as a healthy breakfast for children. Many DU-ers agree with me on a prior thread. Shouldn't be marketed to moms as healthy breakfast for children. Children shouldn't be eating either sugary cereals OR nutella for breakfast.

[Ohio Joe]

7. oh yes

I like to spread it on slices of cheese... Swiss, cheddar, it's all good :D

8. I have naughty thoughts

about Nutella.

9. I was in the UK recently where there is a vigorous ad campaign promoting Nutella

as part of a "healthy and balanced breakfast"--- said breakfast also features milk, a banana and high-fiber bread... aka a good breakfast w/out the undoubtedly-delicious-but-let's-be honest-it's-dessert hazelnut and chocolate spread. :)

That said, put it on a crepe w/whipped cream and enjoy a few seconds of nirvana! :bounce

10. Damn, I'm out of it!

[EFerrari]

11. On fresh hot scones or when thinking of fresh hot scones.

lol

[Lugnut]

12. Not good.

It's sinfully fabulous! I like to dip thin pretzel sticks into the jar and eat it as a snack.

13. I love chocolate hazelnut spread, but Nutella is all sugar....

As one other brand that I ate recently notes, "Nutella tastes like cake frosting because it has as much sugar as cake frosting." I like chocolate hazelnut spreads with less sugar. They're hard to find, though.

14. Divine! I eat it straight from the jar

some of it makes it into food, but it is hard. Whatever I make with it is great though.

[elleng]

15. Doing that now, w pineapple, but need a new jar!!!

[wickerwoman]

16. Chocolate + hazelnut butter. Could it possibly be bad?

17. "Easy" Homemade Vegan Nutella

I make this all the time and it is better than the jarred stuff. After the nuts are toasted it takes no time at all.

18. Oh, thanks for that, empress!

And lucky me, I'm the only one in the house who appreciates hazelnuts. :evilgrin:

[The empressof all]

20. Don't tell anyone I told ya....but

You don't have to limit this recipe to hazelnuts. I make it with almonds and I've even done it with macademias :wow:


They sell cinnamon crusted almonds at Trader Joes that I may try with it next.

[Little Star]

19. We like CocoaHazel! nut&cocoa spread (that's what the jar calls it)

We don't like Nutella but love this stuff on whole grain pop-cakes. They were giving samples at whole-paycheck one day and we fell in love. They have a machine that air pops the pop-cakes and man are the pop-cakes good too!
