12 excellent things you can make with Nutella

TO HONOUR the king of all spreads, we’re collected the most indulgent Nutella recipes we can find.

AS far as we’re concerned, Nutella has never gone out of fashion. That chocolatey treat that was marketed as ‘good for you’ back in the day (Hey, it has nuts in it. See? HEALTHY) has always been a popular indulgence.

But for some reason, Nutella’s popularity has surged even further over the past year — probably because it’s just old enough to have the nostalgia factor. There are Nutella dessert bars, Nutella doughnut milkshakes, Nutella pop-up cafes and there was some serious outrage when it looked like Melbourne was to blame for Sydney’s Nutella shortage.

To honour the king of all spreads, we’re collected the most indulgent Nutella recipes we can find. So cancel your plans and spend this weekend baking.
