I’ve seen Nutella advertised, but haven’t fallen for it. I mean, come on! Peanut Butter and other nut butters are a healthy snack, but adding sugar in the form of chocolate just seemed wrong. Wrong in the sense that I’m trying to teach my kids to eat healthy snacks and Nutella just doesn’t seem to be the wisest choice … or habit to start.
But, my SIL who lives Germany gave us a couple jars of Nocciolata, an organic hazelnut spread with cocoa and milk made in Italy. It’s absolutely yummy. I will admit that it took me a year to open it, and I pretty much hoarded the first jar. Silly me, I opened it just before Lent, too. How’s that for sacrificial … knowing you have an open jar of Nocciolata in your cupboard, and further knowing that you aren’t going to eat it anytime soon. No worry, it’s not Lent right now, and I just enjoyed a slice of homemade bread slathered with the hazelnut/cocoa concoction.
Does anyone else buy this product?? What else do you ‘do’ with it besides spread it on bread??
Oh, I haven't fallen for the "Nutella" thing for the exact same reason and to be honest, it just doesn't sound good, chocolate with nut butter? Yuck...especially now that I'm preggers!
ReplyDeleteI also had been given one as a gift and never opened it. The stuff just looks so weird.
ReplyDeleteUmm...I'll take yours, Christine!
ReplyDeleteI bought some Nutella a few years back just to see what it was. I think I also hoarded it myself - yum!
I haven't bought any since - guess I just grab a handful of chocolate chips if I am having a chocolate craving! (or make chocolate chip pancakes - double yum!)
Patio looks great! Can't wait to try it out this weekend!! Hope the all day rain on Fri and Sat will dry up by then ;)
