AndyJoy Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This board corrupted me, too. On Saturday I had a waffle spread with Nutella and topped with sliced bananas and walnuts. YUM.

I usually just dip my pretzels in mustard, but nutella.... Off to the grocery store... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniBlondes Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 oh.em.gee. Last week I caved and I bought Nutella for the first time. Yesterday we made Nutella cookies. We're doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justLisa Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It is way to sweet on it's own. DH loves it. I have made banana and nutella dessert crepes before. THAT is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise in Florida Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It is way to sweet on it's own. DH loves it. I have made banana and nutella dessert crepes before. THAT is good. I like it with fresh fruit, like firm peach slices. yum...the fruit seems to offset some of the nutella sweetness. When I eat nutella straight off the spoon, I like to have a hot cup of coffee (I take it no cream/no sugar) to drink with it. Okay, now I'm hungry again. Why were we discussing nutella? :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I tried nutella last year because of everyone's enthusiasm. Didn't like it. Shouldn't have been surprised--I'm not big on chocolate in the first place. But a few weeks ago I thought of the Hive when I saw the Back-to-School sale flyer from Publix. Among those essentials you'll need for school were cereal, milk, lunchables and . . . Nutella! :D I wish I had a picture of it. Priceless!

I see them all the time in some ethnic stores. I used to buy a Turkish version of nutella. There are some that come with white and brown stripes, too. ;) I tried Nutella for the first time when I was about 9. Heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflections Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 We like Nutella so much, that the kids and I play a game: What Nutella is NOT good on. So far we've got: hamburgers, hotdogs, pickles, squash, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, noodles, ... you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAR120C Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 HOMEMADE NUTELLA RECIPE -- even better than the store-bought kind -- not as sweet, enormously rich and satisfying. This is a dark chocolate version I found on the internet a long time ago. It's super easy. This will make your day! 1/2 cup hazelnuts 3 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped (buy GOOD quality; I use Scharffenberger and it's fantastic) 1/2 cup whipping cream 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar pinch of salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla Toast hazelnuts in a flat pan at 350 degrees, for 12 to 15 minutes. Rub in a towel while still warm to remove as much of skins as possible. Pulse in a food processor. Add the chopped chocolate and pulse until finely ground. Bring cream, sugar, and salt to a boil over medium heat, stirring. Pour through the feed tube of the food processor onto the nuts and chocolate mixture with the motor running. Process 4-5 minutes. Don't skimp; the texture really does change over that period. Put in a bowl, stir in vanilla, and refrigerate. This is exactly what I want :) DH just pointed out the palm oil in the ingredients list and I promised I'd look for a homemade recipe... after this jar is gone. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieamy Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This board corrupted me, too. On Saturday I had a waffle spread with Nutella and topped with sliced bananas and walnuts. YUM. My favorite way to eat it is to dip Pretzel Goldfish Crackers in it. If I'm having a rough day and have to go to hide from those crazy people I live with then I take a jar of nutella and a bag pretzels with me. I prefer the long and skinny ones because your fingers don't get as messy when eating directly from the container. :001_smile: I can't really blame my family though because I don't really need a reason to spend some quality time with nutella and pretzels.

Ibbygirl Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Believe it or not, at Vons, my local grocery store. But there are lots of other good brands. Would Ghiardelli sp? work? I know my local grocery store sells that in the baking aisle. I've never seen that brand you mentioned though. Never heard of a Vons either. Where do you live?

Ibbygirl Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Big city in southern California -- and Scharffenberger is made in Berkeley, so it's a local (relatively) product and we see it everywhere here. I also love Callebaut, Valrhona, and Lindt. Lindt is at the grocery store too, in the candy bar section; the others are at fancier stores or online (all kinds of places, including amazon.com). I think any chocolate brand would be good, but fancy ones make this recipe blissful. So between Lindt and Ghiardellis which would be the better one?

Sumiller Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 This thread is giving me some great ideas for enjoying my Nutella. I've done the Nutella and peanut butter sandwich, Nutella and fluff, Nutella and banana, Nutella on pita bread...but I've not ever tried it on pretzels! Sounds really yummy. Like a pp, I've eaten my pretzels dipped in mustard and now I'm going to have to try them with nutella. :D Also to throw another 'must try' out there...has anyone tried the Biscoff spread?? A friend gave me a fresh slice of french bread spread with Biscoff and it was ooooooohhh so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Trader Joe makes a biscoff knock off. I've tried both and I think we all like TJ's slightly better. But they are both really yummy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibbygirl Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I much prefer Lindt, but I would think it would also depend on your personal taste preference. You need to do a serious chocolate taste test! You NEED to. LOL I will. It will be difficult, but I will make the sacrifice for the sake of knowledge. :p hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBlondes Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 We eat Nutella on bagels, Nutella and fruit, and of course Nutella cookies. I will be trying pretzels and Nutella next week. Thanks for the enable! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
