Awhile back I noticed that the first ingredient of Nutella was sugar. Ever since then, I've been looking for a Hazelnut butter that actually has Hazelnuts as it's primary ingredient... Yesterday, I finally found the magical bottle of awesomeness!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here it is, people, the answer to your dreams...ok, my dreams, but really, you've gotta make the switch!!!!!!!!!!

JUSTIN'S CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT BUTTER BLEND All-Natural
INGREDIENTS: Dry Roasted Hazelnuts (YAY!), Dry Roasted Almonds, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa, Organic Cocoa Butter, Palm Fruit Oil (sustainably sourced), Vanilla, Sea Salt
SUGAR = 8g

NUTELLA
INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, PALM OIL, HAZELNUTS, COCOA, SKIM MILK, REDUCED MINERALS WHEY (MILK), LECITHIN AS EMULSIFIER (SOY), VANILLIN: AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR.
SUGAR = 20g

SERIOUSLY, people!

Toss the 'not'-ever-again-ella and go get yourself some of this Justin's goodness. It tastes amazing... And what the heck is Vanillin anyways? Sounds like a villain..

    ummm, so much YES. I actually just bought some yesterday in the little 80 calorie packets because I can't trust myself with a whole jar. haha ^^ I would probably devour it all, nothing better than some hazelnuts! :drinker:

    I found it in the organic/natural section of my local Kroger but I'm sure it can be found online as well! Justin's Maple Almond Butter is also amazing and only 3g of sugar :)

    Thank you !! I have been on the lookout for the same thing.

    And BTW:

    I'll vouch for Justin's too and like the other poster, I buy in the little packets as I trust myself to not sneak "just one more taste" when it 's prepackaged like that.

    Nutella really is yummy though. Like a nice jar of icing.......

    Hahaha....nope...been eating Nutella for over 4 decades now...with a spoon... Never been fat, either.... It will stay my favorite treat, regardless... In moderation, of course..
    Thanks for sharing, though... I've got the little packages of Justin's in my car for emergencies.... :happy:

    My shipment arrived today... I've just had a spoonful of Justin's All Natural Chocolate Hazelnut Butter Blend now...! It's very very nice! It does taste natural, it's not as smooth as the spread I'm used to (Nugatti), but it has a small hint of salt that really goes well with the sweet flavor.

    I love the Justin's version. I think Nutella tastes like cheap Duncan Hines chocolate frosting in a can with a hint of hazelnuts.

    Does it have little bits in it? It's what I saw online... Nervous about it because I don't want things to get stuck in my teeth right now.

    I am a Nutella snob. I have bought other versions before (not yours listed) and have been sorely disappointed.

    Have to say I agree. Not found a product in the UK that matches up with the delicious taste of Nutella

    Nothing will get stuck. It's just coarse, if that is the correct term.

    I love Justin's too! I wanted to try Nutella, but couldn't bring myself to buy it once I read the iingredients. Justin's was on the same shelf at my grocery store. I'm sure it's great though!

    No one mentioned the horrific fat content in Nutella.
