Nutella

[Syrreal]

Take that nutella and graham crackers then stick a big marshmellow in the middle. Then microwave it for 30 seconds. Eat.

I actually had this over in Europe back in 1989 and it has been around for awhile here they just never advertised it for some reason. BUt it is great had it on croissants and toasted english muffins.

Want something else that is good it is Toblerone Chocolate.

I like it spread on sliced apples or peaches.

After reading this thread, I really want to try it inside a fried wonton wrapper. That sounds awesome.

I'm up for trying new things but those Nutella commercials gross me out, it looks like mud on a piece of bread. Maybe if I closed my eyes.....I'm just not sure I could get past the visual. The look of it reminded me of vegamite (no offense to our Aussie boardmates). Anyway glad to now someone is eating it and enjoying because until the commercials I had never heard of it.

Okay - I've seen this advertised on tv, but can someone tell me what it tastes like? Is it creamy? (I can't eat anything with nuts in it - diverticulosis..)

How much does it usually cost?

Its creamy, super creamy. Its a hazelnut spread.

I'm not overweight at all and I am a HUGE Nutella lover!!

My favourite way to eat Nutella is to spread it on a banana and then freeze it. Soooo good!

It's not chunky at all. It's kind of the same consistency as peanut butter, but not as sticky. Just a real thick, creamy spread.

I get mine from Hy-Vee or Target, and it's usually around $3-3.50 a jar or so.

Growing up in Europe, we loved eating their version of Nutella cold. Just stick it in the fridge and a few hours later, yummy scooping on a hot day! My grandmother used to put dollops of it on cleaned tree branches, freeze them, and give them to us kids. We loved visiting grandma!

Nutella here in the states tastes different to me than the version I grew up with in Europe, I think it is sweeter here. But, I am pretty old now, so perhaps my memory fails me, and it is quite possible that when I was a child, I didn't notice things that were too sweet! What did I care about my weight back then?

DH loves Nutella with marshmallow fluff on soft french bread. My kids like it with peanut butter. I tell myself I won't eat it because it isn't like what I grew up with. The brainwashing isn't working too well, though, cause I still eat a spoonful now and then, straight out of the jar, the way it should be eaten!

I didn't get through the whole thread because I have to get DS up but we make a great desert with Nutella.

You fill one of those wonton wrappers with a bit of nutella and then fry them. Top with a little ice cream!!

Another really tasty option is to take a slice of poundcake, spread some nutella on it and cover with fresh strawberries.

Oh, and if you like coffee, you can melt some nutella in the microwave and use it to make yourself a hazelnut mocha.

If you have a spare jar in your pantry (yeah, right) how about this?

Food & Wine mag was reading your mind.....Nutella Swirl Pound Cake (with a suggested side of coffee ice cream).

It is different in the US- in Europe, they tend to use less sugar and vegetable oil instead of palm oil. I once had a taste test with some friends of Nutella from Germany, Italy, US and France...Germany won (if I remember, we read it has more milk so it is creamier). The US version came in last (compared to the others, it tasted greasy...maybe due to the palm oil?)

I love nutella! My favorite is putting it on pretzel bread

Nutella Black & White Cheesecake Recipe

Prep time: 1¼ hours | 15 min prep

Makes: 12 slices

Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream, divided
3/4 cup nutella, warmed slightly & divided (see warming instructions)
1 chocolate cookie pie crust

Directions:
In a bowl, beat cream cheese & sugar with electric mixer for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk the 1/2 cup heavy cream with the Nutella, leaving no lumps.
Whip the remaining heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Divide the cream in half, folding half into cream cheese mixture and half into the Nutella mixture.
Alternately spoon the 2 batters into the pie crust, creating layers.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and serve!

----To Warm Nutella----
In microwave, heat on high for 5 seconds in microwavable bowl.
Or, on low heat on a stove until mixture becomes creamy.

---Hint---.
To help the heavy cream whip faster, freeze the bowl and beaters for 5-10 minutes before adding the liquid.

It is better the second day since it was a little firmer (so the presentation was prettier) and the flavors had blended more.
Best to prepare this the day before you need it.
You could easily layer it into parfait glasses too.

We had a German au pair and after she had been here a month or so I asked what she missed about home, other than her family, and she said Nutella. I saw it in the grocery store and bought it for her. She liked it, but said it wasn't as good as back home.

WOW!!! That sounds amazing. In the ingredients list, it says the nutella is divided, but I didn't see where in the directions.
