And to celebrate this oh so special day I naturally wanted to come up with a special, over-the-top recipe & what better way to celebrate than with a CAKE? Not just any cake, oh no, it had to be one worthy of my longtime love… Nutella!
Have you been having Nutella withdrawals? I know I have! So I thought it was time for another Nutella recipe before someone got hurt (yes it’s that serious in my house LOL) I was lucky enough to get a 750ml jar of the luscious Nutella for Christmas and it was time to crack that bad boy open (I know such restraint right, don’t get too excited I have gone through 2 other smaller jars since Christmas tee hee)!
These are THE most delicious little balls of pillowy, chocolaty, hazelnut goodness! I wish you could smell them. The dough is intoxicating. Even before you take a bite you’re sucked in to their magnetic forcefield. Seriously. THAT. good.
Yes, it’s that time again. One of my favorite postings for each month is the Nutella Challenge. This is our 4th installment. You can catch all of the insanely delicious previous entries here (1st Set, 2nd Set, 3rd Set) Our participants have done an amazing job each month. Be sure to stop by their blogs & say hello! Every month I say, no way are they going to get any better than this, & HELLO they do! I’m so thankful to have so many more ways to enjoy one of life little pleasures NUTELLA!
It’s that time again! I know I can hardly contain myself. I think about this Challenge ALL month. I’ve had a million different ideas floating through my head trying to decide what to make. And, believe it or NOT, I didn’t decide until late Wednesday night what to do! Are you ready? I know I am! Tee hee, I know such a tease but I’ll get to it in just a sec! Mwah.
Are you ready? I know I am! Well ready or NOT, here is the 2nd installment of the Nutella Challenge! Last month there were some ah-mazing offerings. I hope you’ve had a chance to try a few of them out. If not, here’s the link where you can find them: Nutella Challenge ~ Round 1 So without further ado, I present to you my THREE LAYERED MINI CHOCOLATE TORTE WITH NUTELLA MOUSSE & RASPBERRIES (what a name LOL such a mouthful, yikes)….are you drooling? Well you should be. Read the rest of this entry »
I am NUTTY for NUTELLA! Seriously people, Nutella makes me nutty & I’m not ashamed to admit it. LOL!
I have been eating Nutella for over 20 years and never ever get tired of it and don’t imagine I ever will. Last month I posted my Strawberry Nutella Panino and was overwhelmed with the amount of love it received! So many of you commented, emailed & twitted with me about your love for Nutella! Hard to believe a little jar like that could contain such incredible, finger licking goodness (oh yes, you know you dip your finger in the jar too! LOL) isn’t it. All that love got me thinking.
So, I came up with an idea for a monthly Nutella posting to feed my Nutella habit & hopefully yours and The Nutella Challengewas born!
We’re kicking off a Nutella Challenge- and we’d love to have you join in the fun.You don’t need to have a foodie blog in order to participate. You just need to have a common love for the hazelnut goodness of Nutella!
Why a Nutella Challenge you ask? Well, as many of you may know (if you’re following my blog), I am participating in The Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge. This is a bread baking challenge that Nicole of PinchMySalt headed up (She’s an amazing blogger, you should def check out her site). We’re baking our way through Peter Reinhart’s book one recipe at a time. I’m having so much fun doing that that I thought it would be fun to create another group with one of my favorite food items of all time: NUTELLA!
We already have a great bunch of foodies signed up. Check out the Nutella Blogroll to see who else is Nuts about Nutella! If you’re interested in joining us here are the rules (don’t worry they’re easy peasy!):
Ah just the word Nutella sends me into a craze! It might be one of my favorite things on the planet. I was introduced to this Italian creamy hazelnut goodness over twenty years ago. My Italian friends were making what looked like a chocolate sandwich one day for breakfast & I remember thinking that it was quite odd. After a little coaxing on their part I tried it & haven’t stopped eating it since.
I would bring my friends jars of peanut butter (purchased on base) & they would bring me Nom Nom Nom Nutella! I always thought I had the better end of that deal. Sadly my love affair with Nutella was almost tragically cut short when we were transferred back to the states from Italy. Nutella was nowhere to be found. This was a problem. I had to resort to drastic measures. I had my friends mail it to me (along with Baci chocolates - another of my favorites). The love affair continued albeit less frequently than I would have liked.
