Celebrate World Nutella Day with Grandchildren
Comments(6)
World Nutella Day is coming right up. It is February 5th.
Now, imagine. This isn’t a mere national celebration. This is big. Real Big. World-wide Big.
Wowzers.
This made me reminisce about the first time that my husband and I were in Tahiti. Our favorite lunch was getting a long, skinny baguette, a can o’ pop, and a jar of Nutella. We’d smear a thick swath of Nutella on a slice of bread. It would stick to our teeth in thick gobs. We’d wash it off with a swig of pop. Not a very nutritional meal but it made my taste buds kick up their heels in delight.
When I learned that February 5 was World Nutella Day, I immediately imagined celebrating it with grandchildren. Nutella over waffles for breakfast. Yum. Nutella sandwiches for lunch. Nutella spread on apple slices for an afternoon snack. Nutella straight-from-the-jar for supper. It would be a wonderful time. I’d be my grandchildren’s favorite grandmother. (At least for the moment. . .)
I happened upon the World Nutella Day web site — and the l-o-n-g page of recipes. Oh my! They had Nutella recipes for breakfast: pancakes, French toast, muffins, monkey breads, tarts, and cinnamon rolls.
They had 43 recipes alone for brownies. Holy cow!
They had recipes for truffles, candy, fudge, cheesecake, biscotti, macaroons, Crème Brulée, bar cookies, cakes, frosting, cocktails, coffee, ice cream, gelato, mousse, pudding, and semifreddo, panna cotta, and tiramisu. There were recipes for pastries, pies doughnuts, sweet breads, crepes, and bread. I scrolled down and down and down the page.
You can see their Nutella recipes here.
Four recipes caught my eye: Nutella Cheesecake, Nutella Brownies, Chocolate Nutella Cookies, and Nutella Hot Chocolate.
There’s only 12 more days until World Nutella Day. Make sure you stock up on plenty of Nutella. Then, invite a grandchild over for a time of decadence and make one of the bazillion recipes from their site. And, let me know how it turns out. Seriously. I’m way interested to know which of the Nutella recipes are good.
It is snowing as I write this. I want to make some Nutella Hot Chocolate. There isn’t one ounce of Nutella in the house. Do I dash out in what is becoming one of the season’s major snowstorms? In the dark? On slick roads?
What do you think I should do?

Don’t dash out! Better safe than sorry! Just be ready next time. Maybe put a jar in a box for emergencies!
Have you ever tried PB2? Oh my gosh! It is sooooo good. 85% less fat than and it tastes more like peanuts! Becoming more health conscious, it is the only peanut better that I buy. It is a powder that you mix with water. I get it online and stock up because we go thru it so fast! lol Have a good day and enjoy the snow from safely inside. We in the PNW are just digging out of a storm that left us without power for several days!
Marcia,
I will definitely have to put keep a jar of Nutella on hand for emergency purposes. Great idea.
I’ve never heard of PB2. It sounds divine. I’ll have to get some.
I’ve watched Seattle get snow dumped on them last week while here in Utah we only got rain. In fact, it felt almost like spring. What mixed up weather. Yesterday’s storm made up for it though.
Oh, and I didn’t go out in the storm for any Nutella. Sigh.

I have to have Nutella Hot Choclate. I’m allergic to choclate but I don’t react to Nutella, no idea why. So thank you for mentioning that idea!
Connie,
That would be awful to be allergic to chocolate. It’s good that you can eat Nutella!

My oldest daughter and her three girls are all Nutella fans. Not long ago she made some crepes and went for the Nutella to spread on them, only to find that every jar (she had several) was empty! The work of my youngest granddaughter. Now when you go to their house, you will see a jar of Nutella with each kid’s name written on it, plus a “house jar” that they are forbidden to get into!
This is a wonderful idea! I think that I might give a jar of nutella as a birthday/Christmas present!
