We Had a Dream and a Spoon...Nutella Lovers Unite

'Tis perhaps the most spectacular day of the year.  A day to celebrate the cocoa shortage created by WWII.  A day to revel in the wonder of the most delicious spread known to man. A day to tip our hats to the pure genius of Mr. Pietro Ferrero.  

What's that?  You've never heard tell of this glorious day?  Friends, Countrymen, Italians, and Stoners, today is....

WORLD NUTELLA DAY!!!!!!!!

To celebrate I'm sharing my favorite sweet snack of all time.  Now I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but this particular delight is unmatched in its intoxicating hazelnutty goodness.  It's amaaaaaahzing on just about everything, but here is how I prefer it, in it's simplest form:

It's also pretty mind-blowing on toasted ciabatta bread with bananas on top!

Aaaaand...did you know the good people of Nutella have designed a spreader specifically to aid in your quest for removing every last morsel of love from the jar?  Well they have and if that isn't international diplomacy at its best I'm just not sure what is...and you can buy it here:

Nutella is more than just a “chocolaty hazelnut spread,” it is a way of life.

Happy 5th Annual World Nutella Day!
