    They do sell really small containers of Nutella. If you have a World Market near you, try there...and only buy 1 :-)

    I love to eat Ferrero Rocher chocolates, they taste like Nutella but with a hazelnut, a wafer sphere and chocolate. Delicious!

    Now those are the devil, every Christmas a vendor comes in and gives me a 50 pack of those... I have to give them to someone immediately or I'll eat the whole thing in a day or two!

    I don't get the obsessions with Nutella. I grew up eating it in tinny cups, but we only found it at the CANDY store, It is chocolate after all.

    There's tons of candy at grocery stores. This is just another kind. There are people obsessed with all kinds of sweets. It's not any different. There are just a lot of people who like Nutella.

    And I agree!!! Nutella is awesome and every time someone comes from my country to visit that is one of the things that they bring (the small ones of course). All I'm saying is that it is chocolate, which I also adore, and I can't see why all the fuss... But everyone is welcome to eat their chocolate fix anyway they want.; with bread, crackers, apples, celery, or whatever...

    Oh, on second thoughts - really irks me that it's advertised as a healthy breakfast option for kids. Since when was chocolate spread a particularly healthy way to start the day? Delicious, yes. Healthy...IT'S GOT NUTS IN SO MUST BE HEALTHY YES/YES.

    Nutella actually got sewed over this and the people won! No more false advertising for them.

    On a side note...I love nutella but I have 1 tbsp and a cup of fruit with it. Strawberries and Banans are the best.

    I hadn't heard of it until I lived in Hungary for a few months. We found all kinds of ways to eat it: with apples, pretzels, in crepes (with strawberry jam), on toast... straight out of the jar with a spoon...

    That stuff is like crack. Or, I assume it is, as I've never done crack... :tongue:

    I think it tastes like *kitten*. So, no problem on my end. Gross!
    I had no idea about it's creamy decadence until I came to these message boards. In a post yesterday someone asked what your worst "binge" was and one of the replies was eating a whole jar of Nutella. My curiosity got the best of me and I bought a jar of it today.... never had it before. I see what all the hoop-la is about. It tastes like heaven... but according to MFP it's the DEVIL! I think I'm in trouble...........

    My son eats Nutella (half a jar) with a banana. Luckily, I am not much of a chocolate fan so I don't care for the stuff.

    But give me a jar of Lotus Biscoff Spread and I am in heaven!!!

    I guess I'm lucky. The ads on TV make it out to be wonderful, so I tried a jar. One taste and I thought it was crap. Hazelnut with a "hint" of cocoa? More like Cocoa with a hint of hazelnut

    hated it and so did my wife.

    all natural PB for me

    Growing up in an Italian household that was our peanut butter. I used to have Nutella sandwich for lunch at school and the other kids had no idea what it was.

    Do NOT try cookie butter (also known as biscoff spread) either. For the love of all that is holy!

    Try Peanut Butter Co.'s White Chocolate Wonderful. Less calories than regular peanut butter, that yummy chocolate flavor and it isnt full of all those additives crap that you dont need. Around 180 calories per serving as opposed to 220 with peanut butter and 200 for nutella.

    Or just get some PB2! :happy:

    Nutella is owned by the Ferrero company, which is why there is Nutella inside the chocolates.

    The universe just came into focus. It's beautiful.

    Ferrero Rocher stuffed chocolate cupcakes with Nutella buttercream icing. Everyone deserves a treat :)

    My French exchange students got me hooked on it. Nutella on crepes is almost impossible for me to say no to....and unfortunately, even if I have no crepes, it is just as good on graham crackers! I stopped buying it but I still get intense Nutella cravings!

    I have to admit I was so excited to try Nutella...until I tried it. Just not my cup of tea and I still cannot understand what all the hype is about it.

    Have you ever tried Justin's Hazelnut Chocolate Butter? It has 7 sugar versus Nutella's 21 and tastes awesome!

    I like the Justin's brand better. Plus, they have these little single serving packs you can buy individually. I get one every now and then, but I can't binge on it because I only have one little pack :-) They have some other awesome flavors too.

    I grew up eating Nutella and like Justin's better too! I love the squeeze packs especially the 80 cal honey peanut butter. I spread it on apple slices, it's an awesome, filling snack!

    I also grew up with Nutella. Its my favorite ever. Specially with crepe. I may re-introduce it into my diet once I am where I wanna be, can maintain my weight and have my sugar/carb addiction beat.

    That's because if I remember right the cream in the middle IS Nutella.
