Nutella - drinkable?

**Libby** · 01-23-2008, 05:21 PM

This am at work, I didnt feel like making my regular coffee. Instead I wanted hot choclate or so I thought. I went to get a packet of the sugar free mix from my desk and then decided I wanted to make it WITH coffee instead of plain hot water....thinking of Tim Horton's Cafe Mocha here minus the whipped cream and sprinkles. It turned out quite tasty.

After lunch I got the craving for another chocolatey coffee combo thing. This time around I used the hot cholate and a tsp of Nescafe's Hazlenut Instant Coffee Crystals and added the hot water.

WOW - I swear to the high heavens, it was a drinkable form of nutella.

Needless to say, I have that recipe committed to memory for the next chocolate or PMS attack!

Nutella is very spoonable as well.

Mmm, sounds awesome!

I'd drink Nutella. I already eat it by the spoon. I grew up with the stuff--it's Europe's peanut butter. But I'm still not disciplined enough to have it in my house and not just EAT IT so I only buy it maybe once a year.

I don't get away from the farm much

mmm sounds great!
and i love nutella too.
i usually get mine imported as it tastes quite different between Europe & the States.
it's still great as a snack, for breakfast, in coffee, on a spoon "to go"...

How expensive is it?

**shoiji** · 01-24-2008, 02:20 PM

In the northeast it runs around 3-4 dollars. But knock-offs can be found for cheaper.

Imagine my delite when I order a chocolate pizza. Now I just make my own with baked pizza dough and nutella. It is a warm gooey treat!! If I have strawberries they get sliced and put on the "pizza".

Nutella is from Northern Italy like me!

It's marrrvellous. I have breakfast with Nutella on bread. I didn't know the taste is different in the US version... the original version anyway is unique, the knockoffs I have tried can't hold a candle to it.

Agreed! Knock-offs are just that. I haven't had it in Germany in a few years, but I can only guess that it's not as sickeningly sweet as the US version and maybe also more nutty. I'll test when I visit my family again.

OK, am I the only one who read the title of this post and thought "drinkable nutella - the woman who invented this is my hero."

Nutella on toast is my FAVORITE FAVORITE thing in the world. Makes even the worst day right.
