Who loves Nutella?
Anyone who has dipped their spoon into a jar of Nutella knows that usually one spoon is not enough. What is Nutella? If you need to ask, jump into your car and head to a grocery store. While us North Americans were raised on peanut butter, nutella is the Italian equivalence of pure bliss and happiness.
Nutella is a hazlenut chocolate spread, that can be eaten with anything. Whatever your desire is, Nutella may be spread upon it. Personally I love Nutella, plain out of the jar or spread on saltines. For the French it is what makes chocolate crepes delicious. Every French creperie stand, has jars of Nutella that the microwave ane drizzle into a crepe.
