You may have seen the Nutella commercials or passed by it at your grocery store, but have you ever tried it? To be honest, I had seen the commercials and I have even held it in my hand at the grocery store, but I was never quite sure what to think of it. I wondered if it would taste good. Would it be worth the money to get it?
Well that question was easily answered when I tried it for the first time. Let me tell you...it's a little piece of chocolate heaven!! It has a smooth chocolaty taste with a hint of hazelnut flavor. After trying it out I quickly spread some on a bagel for my daughter. Let's just say it is her new favorite spread.
Here are some great Nutella Facts:
* It does NOT contain any peanuts or peanut ingredients, nor does it come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing. This makes it a great PB substitute!
* It does not contain any ingredients derived from gluten containing cereal; wheat, barely, rye, oats, or triticale. It's also Kosher.
* It doesn't contain hydrogenated oil or trans fat and is very low in sodium, especially compared to popular nut butters. It also contains no artificial colors or preservatives.
* There are more than 50 hazelnuts in a 13oz jar!
Nutella Recipes:
What you can do with Nutella is endless. Eat it for breakfast with whole wheat toast, English muffins, waffles, bagels, pancakes, or crepes. Have it as a snack with apple slices, pineapples, strawberries, or bananas.

Thanks for the sample Christine! My whole family was able to try it last night and they all loved it! It's a nice alternative to peanut butter. I used the coupon today and bought a jar.
I fell in love with Nutella when I had a sample at Costco! I love it too much, I think, because it tastes like chocolate to me too and with each bite I rationalize and tell myself that this stuff is healthy :)
Looks like a fun party!
It does taste good! Following you from the thirsty thursday blog hop. On your gfc/network blogs. I's at www.simplyshopandsave.ca
Thanks for this post! I can so relate to your past hesitations about Nutella because I am also guilty of holding it in my hand.... and chickening out. I'm off to the grocery store tomorrow with my coupon in hand, ready to try this chocolate-y goodness that I'm hearing so much about! :)
I love Nutella! My favorite way to eat it is with spoon!
A little birdie told me that Giata over at Food Network has several recipes for Nutella. You can check out hers and others here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/search/delegate.do?fnSearchString=nutella&fnSearchType=site
Mmmm, I can't wait to get creative with some of these Nutella recipes! It's funny because I was in the middle of my first Nutella-eating experience when I sat down and read your comment on my blog! :) A scoop of nutella on a banana = delectable!!
