Food 109: Nutella

Look up synoynms for the word "delicious", and Nutella should be one of them. I don't precisely remember when or how I first discovered the absolute amazingness that is Nutella Hazelnut Spread, but thank goodness I did, cause I can't imagine my life without it. Haha, okay okay, so maybe that is exaggerating a bit, but my fellow Nutella enthusiasts understand what I'm talking about, right? And if you have never tried Nutella, I implore you, run out to your nearest grocery store and buy some, and I'd bet my bottom dollar that you'll enjoy it. I mean, what's not to like? Sure, Nutella is probably the last thing that you should consume if you're trying to watch your weight, but a little bit every once in a while can't hurt... right?

I've found that Nutella goes very well smothered on a piece of toast for a peanut butter, banana, and Nutella sandwich. That's definitely one of my guilty pleasures. It goes great with strawberries, too. Mmmm. But really, there are about a gazillion and one different scrumptious ways that Nutella can be incoroporated with other foods to make some extremely tasty treats. Nutella combined with graham crackers, bagels, pancakes, waffles, french toast, crepes, cookies, brownies, poundcake, cheesecake, donuts, cupcakes... basically the list is endless, so is there any real need for me to go on? You could probably spread some Nutella on just about anything and it would be scrumdiddlyumptious. Just feast your eyes on some of these mouth watering creations:

Or, you can just grab a spoon and eat it straight out of the jar! That always works.... :)
