    I know I'm nuts to everyone else in the world, but I can't stand it. Way too sweet.

    As long as you're keeping your portions moderate (1-2 servings at a time at most), 2-3 times a week is perfectly acceptable in my book. Nutella is amazing, and it makes the BEST hot chocolate ever.

    Take 2-4 tbsp Nutella, drop it into some milk in a saucepan over the stove, and slowly heat it up, whisking constantly until it blends into the milk. It becomes frothy amazingness :smile:

    Eat it like this:

    There's barely half a teaspoons of Nutella and peanut butter in each bite but tastes gooood. And it's healthier. One of your 5 a day!

    Those look so good!!

    I do this with apples - a spoonful of peanut butter and a spoonful of Nutella, sliced apples and dip away - delicious!

    They sell these little Nutella & Go snack pack things now. One package is 268 calories. Great way to get the Nutella fix with a little portion control.

    ^These are amazing! However, I can't buy more than one at a time, or else I'll just go back to the pantry for another, and another... :laugh:

    Another fantastic Nutella recipe is to create Nutella 'turnovers' by wrapping small dollops in little pieces of puff pastry. Just don't bake too many at a time if you won't be able to resist them! :laugh: That's why it's convenient that puff pastry is stored in the freezer, just take out what you need and save the rest for another time.

    I don't understand the obsession many have with Nutella. I tried it for the first time recently and it's just slightly waxy tasting chocolate spread.

    But if you like it and have the calories for it, it's fine. I thought it was pretty good for dipping strawberries in, especially since most of the other spreadable/dippable chocolates at my store contained hydrogenated oil and Nutella did not.

    Never had it.

    Haven't been able to part with peanut butter.

    Peanut butter and Nutella are nothing alike. Nutella has more in common with a Hershey chocolate bar than peanut butter.

    If you know you can control your intake, then eat in moderation. Some of us can't, so I keep things like that out of the house.

    I don't think I can get my hand or enough fingers in the Nutella compartment to make sure it's completely cleaned out! :laugh:

    Try mixing some Nutella with unsweetened almond/coconut milk, then pour into popsicle molds and freeze. Super yum!

    I absolutely LOVE Nutella, if fact I might have to go and have a spoonful now haha. As long as it fits in your calories its all good.

    I make Nutella buttercream cupcakes, they are the best thing ever but very addictive lol.

    You're not alone. I hadn't had it since I was a kid, then I recently bought some two months ago and it's not as good as I remember it, lol.

    Like the others said, it all depends on how much you have and how often you have it.
    I sometimes have it but it's not the kind of thing I'd have everyday - not because of its calories and fat content, but because I personally see it as a treat and I need to get into the mindset that treats are a "once in a while" type foods.
