that is all.



MMMMMM I was eating that too, WITH pb! Then I started leaving the jars on the counter and was having toooooo many spoonfuls during the day and was literally going thru a jar of each every few days! 4lbs later, I've had to go cold turkey on my nutella habit! :lol:

I'm so glad that I'm allergic to hazelnuts, and don't have to worry about developing a Nutella habit. It sounds like an extremely addictive substance.


I've made Nutella ice cream a few times, but otherwise, I just eat it from the jar with a spoon. I haven't yet ever spread it on anything, or eaten it with a secondary food item.

My best post-run meal is any sort of breakfast/brunch, so long as it's with my running group. We choose our breakfast restaurant first, and then figure out a running route around the restaurant. Priorities... :lol:

Um... that looks gross!!! Sorry!!! It would be a bit better with milk... very cute that the kids thought it up, though.
I do have something constructive to contribute though as an alternative... 1 cup milk, 1 heaping spoonful of cocoa, 1 spoonful of sugar, 1 shot of frangelico. Equals... nutella hot chocolate. Alternatively, if for whatever reason Frangelico is a no-go, I guess putting 2 spoonfuls of sugar and some hazelnut extract would do equally well.

Ah, they made it with milk instead of water. Dad saw that in the recipe options, and went with it instead of water. I refuse to drink Hot Choc made from water, so he knew milk would be for the best.
