Who Would Have Thought You Could Make Nutella At Home?

If there’s one thing in this world I can’t live without, it has to be Nutella. Apart from my husband, of course – although I would have a hard time deciding between the two, haha! The world famous concoction is so popular that you can probably get it pretty much anywhere you travel these days. And I’ve heard people refer to all kinds of chocolaty and nutty spreads by that name! I have to say, to me Nutella is one of a kind – but this homemade copycat recipe comes pretty darn close!

I was so surprised when I first tried this. I wasn’t expecting this to have such an authentic flavor that even I, the biggest Nutella fan in the world, might not know the difference between this and the original.

The best thing about this is that I can start experimenting with all kinds of special flavors. You only need to tweak the recipe a tiny little bit, to get completely new aromas. That is, of course, if you’re willing to make changes to the real thing. I intend to give plenty of tweaks a try – but for now I’m just happy that I can make my own Nutella and be 100% sure of what goes in it!

Quick Tip: Want to try a special twist? Add a pinch of cinnamon!

I remember back when I was a kid and my friends would go crazy over a jar of Nutella… They’d pick a spoon (the bigger, the better) and start scooping that stuff straight from the jar, while I just had a taste and didn’t quite get it. I don’t know what I was thinking back then! But I sure have been trying to correct my mistake over the years!

That delicious Nutella flavor combines nicely with the classic “pie spices” to create a great sweet treat for fall and winter; these incredible Nutella Pumpkin Cookie Bars. I was a late-comer to the Nutella party, but I have to say, it’s a rather versatile ingredient. Of course, it tastes great just as a simple spread (on bread or what have you), but why settle for that, when you can use it to make such yummy cookies?

Quick tip: The batter is a bit sticky – spray your hands with cooking spray before you spread it in the bottom of the pan.

These Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas are a delicious sweet treat for parties or home snacking, and by the time you say the name, you can be about done making them. I have to say, I wouldn’t have thought of making a chimichanga into a dessert item, but it works beautifully here. It’s not only sweet and creamy – it’s so quick and easy, too! You’ll literally whip this up in no time, which means more time for you to kick back and relax.

Not bad for only seven ingredients, eh? It’s such a breeze to make, and with the combination of strawberry cream cheese and cinnamon sugar, it has the perfect flavors for all seasons. It also is very easily expanded, should you have an extra-large group to feed.
