I tried "Nutella" for the first time today...

What have I been missing!

1. It's crack if you already liked peanut butter more than you should.

If you need help getting off Nutella, I suggest almond butter at Whole Foods. Far less sugar, nice nuttiness.

6. Good tip on the almond butter

My kids LOVE Nutella, way more than peanut butter.

10. Almond butter is a perfect fix for people who have hypoglycemic issues.

Take two teaspoons before going to bed if you experience hypoglycemic crashes during the night.

2. You missed the class action suit...

3. I love peanut butter. I was greatly disappointed by Nutella...

.
.
.
... probably because so many spoke of it in orgasmic terms and my expectations were dashed.
.
It wasn't bad... but compared to what I had hoped for, it was simply "Meh."

4. Well, I find it to be absolutely delicious.

I'm 52, and this is the first time today I've tried it!

As to being "healthy," I know damn well it has sugar and chocolate in it.

5. I've avoided trying Nutella, for fear that it would become an obsession.

I have no willpower when it comes to these things, and your post confirms my suspicion that I would be instantly addicted to it.

7. Damn. First time? My youngest loves the stuff.

8. It's so delicious,

crazy delicious!

9. You missed the false advertising.

It is sinfully good, and for the longest time it had been advertised as nutritional. Now we know that it is sinful, but good.

11. Truly nauseating....

Ate some as a kid then drove to Munich on the Autobahn. Can't even stomach the smell of it.

12. We love it too...

Great to dip pretzels in, make peanut butter / chocolate bagels, etc. Healthy not so much, delicious - oh, hell yes! We're used to hazel nuts, they grow everywhere around here.

16. Here is a healthier version of it.

Loads of "homemade Nutella" recipes out there, but this one is lower in sugar, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly:

I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list of recipes to try.

13. I love it. I put over ice cream. Yum yum! Try it. You'll like it. n/t

14. It's excellent in crepes

A little real whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Sliced bananas thrown in is a nice touch also. The French eat the hell out of it that way.

15. It's addicting.

I don't eat much of it, because I try to avoid too much sugar (hypoglycemia) but my kids love it. It's good as a fruit dip, in crepes, with banana sandwiches. It was a good substitute when my kids weren't allowed peanut butter because of a kid with peanut allergies in their class, but nutella was ok.

17. OMG, it's pure sugar

way too sweet for me.
