    i have nutella crepes every work morning for breakfast, other than those days when the breakfast place is out of them like today. it is good.

    I buy the reduced fat Cresent Roll Pillsbury and cover it with Nutella and bake it, and after baking it, I then dunk the croissant in some more Nutella... I can't get enough of the darn thing. I'm giving it to my brother first thing tomorrow! (I hope)

    That sounds fantastic. I don't have nutella in my apartment, just get it from my breakfast place. I could see it being addicting in this case.

    If you put it in the fridge, it completely congeals--it is fat, sugar and not a lot more.

    I find it completely disgusting.

    Why would anyone think nutella was a health food? silly people.

    Each serving (2 tbsp.) of Nutella contains 200 calories with 100 of those calories being calories from fat. Although Nutella spread does not contain any trans fat it does contain 3.5 grams of saturated fat per serving. If you were eating a diet based on 2,000 calories daily that would be approximately 18% of your fat intake for the entire day. There are 11 grams of total fat per serving.

    It should be noted that Nutella nutrition facts show that the spread itself contains a whopping 21 grams of sugar per serving. The first ingredient listed on the packaging is sugar. Remember that the ingredients on food labels are listed in order from most to least. This tells you that the main ingredient in this product is sugar.

    I usually ignore my fat intake. Is it even important? I've been eating nutella crepes for years now and have stayed skinny. It's fine in moderation.

    you find fantastic food to be completely disgusting? odd.

    Try Justin's Natural chocolate hazelnut spread.
    It tastes way better than nutella and for 60% less sugar! NOM

    It's arguable that it tastes better. It's very close calories-wise too. I do like it a lot, but sometimes, I just want Nutella (but I grew up with it I guess so I don't tend to go overboard with it sometimes).

    Lack of self control does not make a food evil. Yes, Nutella is high in fat and sugar but it you eat it in small amounts occasionally it's not that harmful, maybe even better than some other foods I can think of.

    How about instead of blaming things on your inability to control yourself, you take responsibility for it? Learn from it! :)
    First of all I didn't blame it on the thing...I did say I blame it on my period which unfortunately I have no control...but you are RIGHT I have control of myself but this time, let's just say NUTELLA won - and for the record, I did take responsibility from it, or I wouldn't be here venting... your 2 cents is greatly appreciated. I'm sure you've given out lots of great feedbacks and advise!

    I don't even know what your point is here.
    While Nutella is delicious, I can't really go back to it ever since my sister made me homemade Nutella for Christmas one year. It tasted like high fiving a million angels, and was so much better than the brand. It was far less sweet (not that I have an issue with sugar), and so much more nutty and flavourful. I need to make some...
    Wait a frickin minute.
    I need this recipe.


    I :heart: Nutella

    Nutella is good, but Lotus Cookie Spread in Crunchy or Creamy is where it's at!

    The other day I took a wrap & put some of the creamy inside & nuked it for 10 seconds. So good! Today I took some Chex oatmeal & heated it up & then stirred in 50 grams of cookie butter.

    Haha. I'll have to ask her for the recipe. I'm pretty sure it's just roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder (or maybe melted chocolate???), a bit of sugar, really not that much, all food processed together, with maybe a splash of milk or cream to hold it together. It's much more of a paste than regular Nutella, which can be kind of gloopy. I'll find that recipe though.

    I have an awesome food processor and I want to high five a million angels, too!

    You better check yourself before you wreck yourself. Both are awesome but interchangeable, they are not.
