    It is candy.
    It's milk chocolate. Not a nut butter, not good calories like a nut butter...........................but..............................oh so delicious and one of my very favorite things. I have not had any for almost two years.

    I bought a 13 oz jar of Nutella today because I was bored with peanut butter. And it's UNBELIEVABLY YUMMY.

    Made 5 sandwiches and ate the rest with a spoon straight out of the jar.

    Question : How do you handle Nutella? :bigsmile:

    When the jar is almost empty and you can't get much out put ice cream in the jar. Make brownies out of it...

    I have it in my house but personally have never eaten it...does not appeal to me...but this is what my son and husband does with it....

    DON'T DO IT!

    Nutella will take everything you are and leave you a trembling shell.

    I'm fine with peanut butter. :smile:

    Good morning Sir,

    In discovering Nutella, you have also found what is quite a slippery slope. First it starts with a little on a cracker. Then, you're incorporating into dessert dishes. For awhile you like to delude yourself into thinking it's a special treat by serving hundreds of grams to yourself in nice ceramic ramekins and garnished highball glasses. The next thing you know, you're in an alley somewhere doing something you never thought you'd do just to buy another jar.

    Stop now, while there's still time.

    Sincerely,
    The Internet

    ^^^ this my whole family is addicted to the stuff when a jar appears in my kitchen usually I don't have to worry about avoiding it as one of my kids will demolish 75-100% with the other finishing any remainder moaning loudly about the unfairness of life that they didn't discover it first. If I ever get a look in all self control goes out the window, and I only stop if caught in the act by OH.

    I have a great Nutella story:

    Back a few summers ago my friends and I went overnight camping 2 nights in Yosemite National Park. Anyways, I was still super chunky back then and really wanted to eat some Nutella. We were fortunate to find some in the park general store. Anways, food in Yosemite has to be stored in big iron food lockers because there are bear roaming all over the park. If you store any food in your car, the bears generally break the door of the car and eat the food.

    So, our food locker was right next to our tent, say about 5-10 feet away. I put my Nutella in the locker and we got ready to go to sleep. Our tent was a little small for 3 grown men, but we managed to kind of fit in it. Sometime around 2-3 AM, we weren't sure when, we started hearing sniffing and growling sounds outside of our tent. Then we started hearing BOOM BOOOM BOOM as a bear started slamming himself on our food locker. About a minute after this happened, we heard park rangers comes screaming "HEY BEAR HEY BEAR HEY BEAR" while flashing lights at it to scare it away. The bear kept slamming on my Nutella safe and then finally ran away.

    Lesson learned: 1)Nutella is bears favorite food. Do not keep Nutella around you if you are going to be camping out with the bears.
    2) Three grown men in a small tent is the funniest thing ever when there is a huge-*kitten* hungry bear outside.

    Great story! Would've loved to see your faces during all that!!

    Toast some whole wheat bread, put Nutella AND peanut butter AND banana on it! I mean, that's what I heard.....

    you reminded me of a fantastic nutella smoothie with bananas and vanilla ice cream, God no wonder I got as fat as I did...

    I totally and completely had to throw a half a jar of the cookie butter out because it was only making it onto my spoon and in my mouth and never onto my mfp diary. I can't trust myself around the stuff!

    Once upon a time, I bought a very large jar of Nutella so I could make various Nutella treats for a Nutella-Themed party. It was going to be epic. I wasn't able to go to said party, so I ate the entire jar...yes, the whole thing...

    I'm a bit of a Nutela-S1ut.

    I'm so glad I didn't have the same problem with the Bacon-Themed party...

    I use Justin's Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread because it's lower in sugar and doesn't have dairy :) I love adding a half tablespoon to my oatmeal for dessert with strawberries and banana slices!

    All the Justin's flavors are great.
