I tried Nutella for the first time earlier this year (when my mom made these awesome Nutella cookies) and I have been stocking our cupboards with it ever since. My husband lived in Europe when he was a small child and remembered having Nutella all the time. His mother must have told him it at some point that it was a special delicacy because until just recently, he thought Nutella cost over $50 a jar. Fortunately for us, it’s much more affordable than this and is something we can enjoy everyday.

We have started incorporating Nutella into our breakfast routine recently as well. My husband loves to have it spread on graham crackers with some fruit on top and I like to make it into a smoothie. I’ve been experimenting with different ingredients and ratios, and I think I have finally found the best combination. I’ve also tried making these mini Nutella Banana Pizzas for breakfast.
