    My daughter is addicted to the stuff but I have always found it to be like Sunny D, junk food hyped as healthy. Give me natural nut butters any day.

    They need to make bottles of that stuff that are about the size of 5 hour energy shots. So I don't go crazy and eat the entire jar.

    my niece and nephew have given each other bruises fighting over the nutella. personally, I don't get it. it's way too sweet for my liking. I prefer peanut butter (my all-time desert island food) or dark chocolate almond butter.

    Main ingredient in Nutella = SUGAR

    DISGUSTING!

    I don't care how good you think it tastes, if you want a healthy lifestyle you will eventually realize that refined sugar - and Nutella by deduction - is poison!

    Keep polluting your bodies and craving that crap...

    Just don't complain when you can't understand how 2000 calories a day keeps you overweight and diabetic...

    I adore it, so I don't buy it often. When my hubby does, I make him keep it on the shelf that I can't reach! I'm 5'3" and he's 6'6". Tim Hortons here just introduced a whole line of Nutella treats, and that has been rough... they have these delicious little pastries that taste like the donuts my grandmother used to make, filled with Nutella!!

    Here is an interesting blog posting from an Australian nutritionist:

    I wouldn't call that interesting. Not sue who would think of Nutella as a health food. It's a treat. Saturated fat isn't inherently bad so the nutritionist is just flat out wrong in that article.

    Plus, I can get the nutrition facts right off of their website so I'm not sure what the hoopla is about it.

    Strong first post.

    Anyway. I don't like chocolate, and I don't like hazelnuts, sooo....Nutella doesn't do it for me. However, I have made Nutella salted caramel brownies for friends, and my understanding is that several pairs of underpants had to be changed after tasting them.

    I stopped you where you should have stopped yourself. ;) definitely agree on the "strong first post" front.

    Heat a cup of almond milk in a pan and add one-two spoons of nutella. Tasty homemade hot chocolate.

    I wish people wouldn't keep it in the fridge

    I stay around 1500 cals/day, have maintained for a year now and still enjoy Nutella. Wow judgemental much?

    I've never had it. I may not try it just to spite the people who rave about it. Yeah, I'm that guy.

    Cut off your nose to spite your face ;) More for me!

    The ads empasize the healthy ingredients such as skim milk, hazelnuts and cocoa. To me that is marketing it as a healthy food to feed your children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbmueS6sHPM

    It is tasty. I don't buy it though because it is too much money/calories for me when there are lots of other things I prefer to use my money/calories on.
    If you like it and can fit it in your goals then go for it.

    I don't know. They just say happy ingredients. I agree, those ingredients make me happy.
