hot chocolate, nutella style
Recently I was shocked – shocked – to discover that there are actually people in this world who have never enjoyed the yummy goodness of Nutella. I know what you’re thinking…is this possible? Can it really be? But I assure you that it’s true. It occurs to me that the world’s problems could easily be solved if only everyone could enjoy the smooth, chocolatey deliciousness of Nutella. Really. After all, no one has ever been angry with a scoop of Nutella in their mouth. Instead of an apple a day, I say let’s all have a scoop of Nutella!
There are many ways to enjoy this creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread – and rest assured that I’ll devote many future posts to nutella recipes – but hot chocolate is my absolute favorite. It’s brought a ray of sunshine many times when I was scrounging in the pantry for a little sweet something after the kids went to bed, certain that there was nothing there good enough for my cravings. Then my eyes would fall on the jar of Nutella, and life would become something amazing once again.
If you wax poetic over Nutella recipes – as I clearly do – or if you’re one of those rare folks who haven’t experienced the true bliss that Nutella brings, then you really, really need to run to the store and pick up a jar immediately!

Looks SO good. (And it is true because I have not tried Nutella :s!!!)
Oh my … I love nutella and can't wait to try it like this!
Lesley, can it be true?!! A fabulous blogger like yourself, yet you've never had Nutella? We were destined to cross paths! ;-)
Michelle, you will LOVE it!! It's so easy and so yummy – one of my favorites!
Lesley, I just saw on your blog that it's your birthday today! HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
What a great idea! I love nutella on toast, crackers, etc. but never thought of it for hot chocolate! I'd better get a move on – it's starting to get warmer outside and hot cocoa season may be passing.
TN – I almost didn't post this until fall just for that reason! But I knew I'd never make it that long, so up it went. Hope you enjoy it!
I am embarassed to admit I am one of THOSE people who have never tried Nutella. And I lived in Italy where it's a household staple! Your pictures inspired me though. I will have to pick some up soon.
OMG – I have this in my pantry – love it – but I never knew you could make hot chocolate out of this – what a quick fix for the late nite pantry raid – GREAT idea – thanks!!!
You are so clever! I’ve never tried Nutella, but it seems to keep popping up, so I guess I’d better try it.
That looks and sounds delicious! Love the blog, by the way. I wandered my way over here from The Left Over Queen's forum. :D
I always have nutella in my kitchen cupboard! My chocoholic hubby will love this recipe. Thanks!
Oh how I love Nutella … any way I can get it. One of my favorite uses for it as a filling for crepes. So, so good. Brilliant idea to use it for hot chocolate. Yum!
I've left a little something for you on my blog today. :)
Have a delicious weekend!
I haven't had Nutella in years – I'm adding it to the next shopping list…..this looks too good to pass up. Thank you for sharing, and right now my morning coffee seems quite lacking!
I admit that I am uneasy around the word Nutella, but will give this a try.
Thanks for the idea,
Jason
How is it that I've put Nutella in my oatmeal, but never used it to make Hot Chocolate? Awesome idea. I can't wait to try it.
What a wonderful idea. I have been enjoying Nutella for a LONG time now and have never thought to turn it into hot chocolate. Brilliant!
I'm in 100% agreement!! Everything would be better with nutella. When I was 8 and visiting family in Europe I was flabbergasted (but delighted), to see that my cousins ate fresh bread with butter annnd nutella on top. Soooo gooood!
Unfortunately, I can't keep a jar in the house cuz I'll eat it in less than a week. No nutella control!!
I honestly have never tried Nutella. Frankly, the name is not that inviting. At one point I was told that it was popular on the east coast of the US; now I will have to see if they carry it here in MN.
Thanks for this blog – I have had fun!
Hi Steve! I never really thought about it, but you're right, the name doesn't sound that great. I hope you try it though…it's really quite something! So glad you like the blog – thanks!!
