    I grew up in Fort Bragg, with a bunch of American military brats who had parents stationed in Germany - they grew up overseas for their early years and always had Nutella stashed away in their lunchboxes. I just have never cared for chocolate spread on toast - it just doesn't quite work for me. Nutella mixed in brownies and things isn't bad, but I personally just don't go crazy for it.

    Speculoos Cookie Butter is another story. Trader Joe's sells it, and it is certainly an addiction - I love ginger and gingerbread.

    I like to dip ferrero rochet into nutella and then eat it. Or just dig spoonfuls into the jar!

    I like Nutella...

    I eat it occasionally as a treat on waffles for breakfast. As a snack, I spread it on shortbread cookies or use it as a dip for apple slices. Sometimes I sprinkle homemade chocolate granola over the top -- yum!

    Big Lots stores have their own brand of chocolate hazelnut spread call Fresh Finds International. I think it tastes as good as Nutella, although it has a very slightly different texture, and is a lot cheaper.

    Personal thoughts?

    It's good on almost everything. Eating nutella is like riding a magical unicorn over a fantastical chocolate rainbow.

    Nutella is delicious but not healthy at all. I eat it as a treat from time to time and only in moderation. 1/2 tbsp nutella & 1/2 tbsp peanut butter on a piece of ezekiel toast makes a delicious yet semi healthy snack/breakfast. The key is moderation!

    I love Nutella. I use it as a treat when I do buy it. I could consume an entire jar like many others in one sitting. If I do eat it I stay within my calories and try to not eat too much which is hard. Probably better not to even buy it in the first place but I sometimes need that chocolate fix.:tongue:

    It's good, but then I tried Caffarel gianduia (chocolate/hazelnut) and it was paradise in a foil wrapper. Happily for my waistline it's hard to find Caffarel in the States.
