    Here is an interesting blog posting from an Australian nutritionist:
    http://foodwatch.com.au/blog/additives-and-labels/item/nutella-the-full-correct-list-of-ingredients.html

    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.

    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

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

    You have a lot more faith in the "enlightened consumer" than I do.

    I like it. I like it plain, I like it on crackers, I like it on strawberries, in crepes, sandwiches, I've made the 5 ingredient Nutella cookies,and the Nutella filled crescent rolls. Those were easy and delicious. I don't think I've had it a way I haven't liked it. I do keep it in the house, but it's hidden because my kids have made themselves sick on it. So now if they want it they ask for it.

    Love Nutella. A little bit goes a long way though. I typically only have it on crepes.

    Tim Hortons in Canada just launched nutella doughnuts, nutella pastry pockets and added nutella to their list of bagel toppings.

    I just luuuurve it so much. I used to have it on toast or just straight from the jar.
    Now I have a tablespoon of it with strawberries, and pancakes. Yum.

    I rarely have a craving for it, but when I do I can eat a few spoonfuls :p

    I like it, though I rarely have it. One time I ate too much of it and had intense nightmares.

    I might try making my own sometime soon.

    I loved Nutella, when I was in high school and college, and it became a game of finding it in the few stores that carried it in the U.S. in the 90's.

    Now, it tastes too sweet to me, to the point that it makes my teeth hurt. I've gotten used to (and found I prefer) the chocolate Nuttzo over Nutella.

    This may be unpopular, but I've actually found something that I think is BETTER than Nutella (and I think Nutella is pretty damned good).
    For all the Brits out there, go to Tesco and get yourselves a jar of Tesco Bourbon Spread.
    It is the EXACT flavour of the filling of bourbon biscuits. Oh my.
