I don't get it. It's too sweet, gooey and kinds of like peanut butter except it's too sweet and gooey. Maybe I'm just not doing it right but, I don't understand the fuss over Nutella. I've tried smearing it on toast but... So, what's the attraction?

    I think the attraction is that it's sweet, gooey, and kind of like peanut butter, except chocolate. :)

    It's what Europeans use instead of peanut butter. Except the Dutch, they eat both. Forget toast - did you try sticking your finger in the jar and eating it plain? That's the preferred method.

    To me it tastes like chocolate icing in a jar. Too addictive. I haven't bought it in years. What cracks me up every time I see the commercial is when they say "and a hint of cocoa". If that's what they consider a hint, I'd hate to see what they would consider a jar of chocolate spread!

    I've refused to buy it so far.

    I love Nutella. I grew up with it though so I can actually moderate myself with it, except if I make crepes, but even then I don't even put half a serving on them... maybe a third. A little goes a long way.

    Nutella is pure perfection. I truly just like a spoonful of it rather than spreading it on toast or anything. One tablespoon totally squelches my chocolate craving, it works wonders.

    The only possible explanation is that your taste buds are broken. :noway: :laugh:

    I loooove the taste but I agree- its too sweet. I made it myself once and added less sugar and it was AWESOME but too much work.

    Also, I just want to point out the lack of a word for "too sweet" in the English language. It bugs me every time I say "too sweet" :tongue:

    Oh man... Nutella on a (small) bagel = awesome.

    They've started selling it in boxes of little single-serve packet thingies. Perfect for me, because usually a full jar goes bad long before I use it all up. Oh, and the built-in portion control is nice too. :-)
