Nutella

One of my all time favorite "food" items is Nutella.  This wickedly delicious hazelnut, chocolate spread goes great with many things and brightens your day on your first taste!  I like Nutella on Arnold whole wheat thins , cream crackers, crepes, waffles...you get the picture!

It's even great for baking - to make a moist, chocolate cake, to make chocolate, buttercream icing, to layer cakes or brownies, ganache and so on.  There seems to be nothing you cannot do with Nutella ...except throw it away! So, next time you go grocery shopping, grab a jar of yummy Nutella and experience one of my favorite "foods".

Here is one of my quick Nutella treats:  Nutella Crispies

Ingredients

• 3 or 4 tbsns of Nutella ( add more if needed )

Directions

• Pour the rice crispies in a bowl
