Delicious :-) But hard to stop at 1 tbsp!!!! My SIL uses it as a filling in chocolate cake. I'll eat it on occasion on toast for breakie with a banana...mmmmmmmmm.0

Lots of sugar? I've never tried it but I've seen the ingredients. A slightly healthier version would be Justin's Hazelnut chocolate spread. I bought that once and I'd just eat a tablespoon as a treat occasionally.0
-
Delicious and I try to stay away from it..lol. My kids love it so I always have it in the house. On a rare occasion, I will get a spoonful of it and eat that for a sweet snack/dessert. I don't make it part of my regular diet though.0

Tastes amazing, easy to eat too much...no health benefits at all! Don't by if you don't have self control.0

It's a melted candy bar in a jar. One tbsp is more sugar than most people should eat in a day, and despite what the production company would like you to think, there is no benefit to it as a "nut butter". There are healthier, natural hazelnut spreads with a chocolate flavor that have significantly less sugar than Nutella.
I don't deny that it's tasty, but i swore it off when I realized eating nutella was about as nutritional as eating a Hershey bar.0 -
It is delicious and I think also FAR from healthy and nutritious lol I have a jar in the kitchen that I have been trying to desperately stay away from. I have been feeding it to my fiancee` and my kids just to get rid of it, and it also gives me a chance to lick the spoon0

It's delicious and it's junk food, sorry to burst everyone's bubble.0

I agree with the person who said don't buy if you don't have self control it is so easy to over eat that tasty crap. Your better off finding something more healthy.......0

Nutella is the devil! :devil:0

The French eat it by the bucket load - they are a very healthy nation!! Personally, it's the devil in a jar, too much sugar etc. "Get thee behind me Nutella" !0

I LOVE Nutella, but our love affair had come to an end. I came across an article that highlighted the fact that it contained more sugar and fat than some canned frostings. After comparing Nutella and canned frosting I have not had it since. I used to LOVE Nutella on Nilla Wafers, but this can happen no more Nothing against Nutella, but my body just can't burn all that sugar and fat like it used to.0

LOVE IT!0

I grew up with it and have been in love/lust ever since. I'm under no illusions that it's healthy but every few months (once or twice a year) I go through a Nutella phase that non-surprisingly coincides with general bad eating (oh, the possibilities: Nutella on butter cookies, Nutella mug cakes, Nutella cookies, Nutella on bread/rolls, Nutella on sweet breads and croissants, Nutella on ice cream, Nutella crescents, Nutella on its own, Nutella cheese cake, etc). At all other times of the year I can eat it in moderation without any problems and sometimes need to bin the started jar because it's been open for too long.
So yes - I love it, I know it's not necessarily good for me but I still have it, 90% of the time in moderation.0 -
Its chcolate on toast. No matter how they try and dress it up with how many vitamins or whatever it's got in it, it is still essentially chcolate and should be eaten in moderation, just like chocolate.0

The amount of palm oil (it is 30% oils) and the sugar in the spread are just frightening...0 -
Love Nutella. It's great to bake with too. But I consider it a DESSERT rather than something to make a meal out of.0
-
I love it! It is candy in a jar though. If you love milk chocolate and hazelnuts (filberts) stay away from it.
Speaking of the French, our state fair has a booth where you can get crepes. One kind of crepes are filled with Nutella. The fair starts this coming Thursday through Labor Day. I definately NOT be going this year.......too much temptation.0 -
OMG... its the best thing ever made... And once you start its hard to stop.. My husband would find me in the kitchen in the middle of the night with my finger in the jar... Its just soooo creamy and chocolately...0
-
As long as you treat it like a TREAT. . . it's not a health food. But boy is it YUMMY!!!!!!!!0
-
I absolutely love Nutella; but as I cannot restrain myself from eating the whole damn jar in one sitting, I simply don't allow it in the house! I don't know what but it is the one item, more than chocolate or ice cream or any other confection, that I find I cannot control myself around!0
-
Love nutella, but like everyone else said it's candy in a jar. I guess smearing a tbsp on some nutritious bread is still better than eating twice as much bare chocolate which usually has more sat. fat than nutella, but that doesn't make it healthy.
Since I sometimes still want something chocolate-y and smooth I went on a search and discovered a dark chocolate/cacao spread which does not contain a lot of net carbs/is reduced in sugar and only holds 1gr of fat vs. the 4-something nutella holds, and about half the calories. And I like the taste of dark chocolate better anyway, so it's a win/win situation!0 -
I think it is a "fake" health food that they are trying to convince us to buy by saying peanut butter isn't healthy and this tastes better anyways.
The fat from peanut butter is healthy. I buy a type with flax seed in it and is pure peanuts otherwise so it seperates.
No way will I introduce my kids to a product that they would pile on thinking it was healthy. Like their serving size is what most people eat, not likely.
I can say no one in my family has tasted it because I don't think I would be able to keep it away once they taste it.0 -
I love it, but I haven't eaten it awhile due to it not really being all that good for you.0
-
this.
fixed it for ya -0 -
It taste good, but is no different than spreading a melted candy bar on bread.0
-
hate it :ohwell: :ohwell:0
-
It's delicious and for the same calories as I get from peanut butter, I love to start the day with a toasted piece of wheat bread (or two!) and a thin but tasty layer of Nutella on it--accompanied by some coffee or tea with a splash of light soy milk. YUM!0
