Celebrate World Nutella Day with Grandchildren

Celebrate World Nutella Day on February 5. Here are lots of yummy recipes.

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 the yummy goodness 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 or sandwiches for lunch.  Yum. Nutella spread on apple slices for an afternoon snack or 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 Nutella web site — and the l-o-n-g page of recipes.  Oh my! They had recipes for breakfast: pancakes, French toast, muffins, monkey breads, tarts, and cinnamon rolls.

They had 36 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.

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 so that you have plenty on hand. 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 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?
