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!
