I bought a 13 oz jar of Nutella today because I was bored with peanut butter. And it's UNBELIEVABLY YUMMY.

Made 5 sandwiches and ate the rest with a spoon straight out of the jar.

Question : How do you handle Nutella? :bigsmile:

    I try to remind myself that I might as well be eating frosting, and whip some of that up instead, lol.

    Good morning Sir,

    In discovering Nutella, you have also found what is quite a slippery slope. First it starts with a little on a cracker. Then, you're incorporating into dessert dishes. For awhile you like to delude yourself into thinking it's a special treat by serving hundreds of grams to yourself in nice ceramic ramekins and garnished highball glasses. The next thing you know, you're in an alley somewhere doing something you never thought you'd do just to buy another jar.

    Stop now, while there's still time.

    Sincerely,
    The Internet

    i buy single serving pots as a treat... nutella is DELICIOUS!!!

    peanut butter is mostly just peanut (if you get the good stuff) so from a nutritional point of view its better.... but nutella is DELICIOUS!!!

    That just sounds dangerous. I have a distinct lack of self control around both peanut butter & Nutella. Im weak for the creamy goodness.

    Bought some, had a bit on half a slice of toast, logged the 100 calories, and realized that I didn't have the willpower to have the stuff in the house. Gave it to the (really happy) kids to take to their house!

    I use Justin's Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread because it's lower in sugar and doesn't have dairy :) I love adding a half tablespoon to my oatmeal for dessert with strawberries and banana slices!

    I have a great Nutella story:

    Back a few summers ago my friends and I went overnight camping 2 nights in Yosemite National Park. Anyways, I was still super chunky back then and really wanted to eat some Nutella. We were fortunate to find some in the park general store. Anways, food in Yosemite has to be stored in big iron food lockers because there are bear roaming all over the park. If you store any food in your car, the bears generally break the door of the car and eat the food.

    So, our food locker was right next to our tent, say about 5-10 feet away. I put my Nutella in the locker and we got ready to go to sleep. Our tent was a little small for 3 grown men, but we managed to kind of fit in it. Sometime around 2-3 AM, we weren't sure when, we started hearing sniffing and growling sounds outside of our tent. Then we started hearing BOOM BOOOM BOOM as a bear started slamming himself on our food locker. About a minute after this happened, we heard park rangers comes screaming "HEY BEAR HEY BEAR HEY BEAR" while flashing lights at it to scare it away. The bear kept slamming on my Nutella safe and then finally ran away.

    Lesson learned: 1)Nutella is bears favorite food. Do not keep Nutella around you if you are going to be camping out with the bears.
    2) Three grown men in a small tent is the funniest thing ever when there is a huge-*kitten* hungry bear outside.

    It's not allowed in my house anymore. My daughter will eat a whole jar in one sitting. And then I'm mad because I didn't get any.

    Once you discover nutella mug cake it is all down hill from there.
