    It's chocolate goo....lol. I use to feel the same way until I got into this huge chocolate kick. Now I normally only eat it when it's on my Fiber One Double Chocolate Brownie bar. I only use a little bit on days that I'm REALLY wanting some rich chocolate dessert. I then wash it down with some cold milk...best.snack.EVER!!! I don't use it for anything other than that...

    I had nutella crepes once. That was awesome. But if you're not too into really sweet things, I can understand why this would not be your favorite thing ever. :)

    The attraction is that it's delicious.

    I love Nutella, but am not impressed at all with all the latest copycats. One I tasted was like watered down peanut butter and it was dark brown but not a hint of chocolate taste. I can't buy Nutella though because I want to eat it with a spoon or with a nice thick crust of bread and just keep eating it.

    If it weren't for Nutella (and beer) I would probably waste away into nothing...

    I totally agree. Nutella is the real thing. Right from the spoon, or in a pinch a finger full.

    Awesome treat. Pillsbury crescent rolls, heaping teaspoon of nutella, chopped toasted hazel nuts. Bake. Drizzle with nutella heated briefly in microwave, topped with more chopped toasted hazelnuts. I have not indulged in this since I have been on MFP, but it is amazing.

    I must be one of the weird ones, but I really don't like Nutella. I love sweets, but it is too sweet for me, and not chocolately enough. Kind of fake tasting really.

    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 don't get it either. It's nothing like peanut butter. It's like hot fudge ice cream topping before it's been heated.

    I mean, I understand why people like it. It's spreadable chocolate. What I don't get is why people are willing to pay so much for spreadable chocolate.

    I am confused why people think this is "spreadable chocolate"? Sure it has some cocoa in it, but the main bringer of deliciousness here is hazelnuts. The cocoa is a secondary flavor.

    Spread it on a graham cracker. So good!!

    Then add a couple of raspberries on top. Cuts the sweetness. Plus it's fruit, so it makes the whole thing healthier.

    Not sure if you are joking, but I tasted nothing but chocolate.

    Nutella is delicious. I also like dark chocolate almond butter. And that biscoff spread. I don't keep any of them in the house often.

    My preferred method of eating Nutella? Plop a spoonful or so on a plate and dip mini marshmallows in it.
    My preferred method?
    Placed in a glass bowl and warmed in the microwave.

    Delicious to me. I don't buy it because I don't need it or desire it as much as ice cream or something, and I also won't have great portion control with it.

    I will literally eat Nutella off of a spoon. But if I'm going to pig out on sugar, it's going to be on gourmet gummy bears... So for this reason, I no longer eat Nutella!

    lol I said often. If I buy a jar this week, I won't by another for a while. And I like variety so I don't have a lot of foods I tend to overeat in the house at once. I rotate through things.
