Never tried it because I am afraid I would like it and I do not need another source of high calories!

I do not like it.

I don't like it as much as peanut butter. I like hazelnut coffee though.

I grew up with this stuff! But, it wasn't as sweet as it is here in the USA. I used to bring a jar or two when I came back from a visit to Germany, cause my girls loved it. Neither of us touches it now a days.

Then, you'd love the Crepeaway in Washington, DC. Good crepes, but man, so many of them had nutella in them! Over half the menu.

I don't know about that, but we used to eat at a breakfast place near my daughter's college ... they served a Stuffed French Toast (two pieces of French toast with Nutella in the middle) liberally topped with sliced bananas and hazel nuts. YUM. We've copied it at home; after all, no big secrets in the preparation.

Overall, I can take or leave Nutella, but that recipe is spot-on.

Yea, but if you're not wild about nutella or hazelnuts (me!) and it's breakfast time, one's choices were really limited at the DC restaurant. I had to laugh when I read the menu ;)

I like it, but I would LOVE it if it were a darker chocolate. I do love dark chocolate! So, I don't buy it, preferring to 'spend' my chocolate 'allowance' on something very dark, such as Sports Bar dark chocolate with hazelnuts, or a nice, dark Godiva bar. I have a mild allergy to chocolate, I break out in a very itchy rash if I eat more than a small square of it a day. So if I'm going to suffer that, it needs to be something worth it! But yes, I have been known to eat Nutella out of the jar with a spoon! And a large tube of Cortaid close by!

Nay as I'm not a chocolate lover but I say yay to Biscoff Cookie Butter.

No, but all four grandchildren absolutely adore it! I was surprised as I've always considered hazelnuts a bit of an acquired taste, but they don't seem to object. Like Rusty, I might like it better if it were dark chocolate.

I also grew up with it in Germany. Don’t eat it anymore, unless it’s in the creme of a cake or something. Husband still has it on his toast for breakfast, older daughter still likes it, younger one is boycotting as much as possible with palm oil in it. Look what is still on my bookshelf

I can take it or leave it. I like chocolate + peanut butter better.

Nope. Tried it once. Big fat nope.

I absolutely detest the taste or stench of hazelnut. Someone walking down the corridor with a cuppa hazelnut coffee throws me off my feed for hours. Which is probably for the best, because I cannot now eat most tree nuts without severe digestive disorders. I see no reason I should experiment my body on hazelnut or Nutella, to see if that one is an exception. (Coconut is an exception for me. But I like that one.)

I would absolutely freaking hate to learn I can eat hazelnuts when my beloved pine nuts and pistachios are now off my table.

I like it,but I like the Jif Whips chocolate peanut butter better. Yum.

I may be in the minority here, I don't think I've ever tried it or don't remember if I did. I very seldom eat peanut butter either if its similar to that.

Nay for me, too!

morz8, it's more of a chocolate spread with hazelnuts.

I can't stand it. I love hazelnuts by themselves.

Nay. Same answer for Vegemite, another regional item (from a different region).

Used to like it, don't anymore.

I keep a small jar, which I slowly work my way through. Yes, I could (and have) eat it right out of the jar. The only time I eat it now is a spoonful in my steel-cut oatmeal on Friday morning.

Wow, you have a pre-planned schedule for breakfasts?

Janie, have you tried dc the cookie butter on a slice of apple? My favorite snack.

I love hazelnuts, too. I buy a couple of bags every fall and roast them for munching or baked goods. Raw filberts (hazelnuts) are delicious, too.

I don't know as I've never tasted Nutella. I was going to buy a jar once, but after I picked it up and looked at the calorie/carb count per serving, I put it back on the shelf.

Love hazelnuts, hate Nutella.

No thank you. I used a bit in a recipe and tossed the rest of the jar.

No....don't care for it. My go to "out of the jar" favorite is lemon curd.

I like it!!!

Lemon curd would be very short lived in my house ;0) Love anything lemon.

Yum....LEMON CURD!

Isn’t it basically frosting?

( edited to add that I have no problem with frosting. Well, actually I do have a problem with frosting!)

It's 55% sugars. That should tell you to avoid it.

Lemon curd? I will have to try that one. (???)

Brushworks, is lemon curd 55% sugar, or was it Nutella? If lemon curd is that much sugar, I have no idea where I'd ever eat it, so I'd skip.

I know, I live under a rock. I've never had nutella.

Probably because if I don't like it and haven't tried it, nothing lost. If I try it and like it, it'll just be another unhealthy thing that I want but shouldn't eat. So I'll pass.

Sure why not. I like it ok. Haven't bought it in years.

I absolutely can't stand hazelnut coffee creamer. Really, it gags me. And I can't stand the smell of it.

Isn't that crazy that some people LOVE it and others HATE it?! My sister-in-law almost drinks her coffee half coffee half hazelnut creamer. Says she could drink it straight. Absolutely amazes me haha.

katlan, that was the one thing that nauseated me during morning sickness with my son. So funny someone else feels this way! I still don't like it though, and I do feel queasy when it's wafting through the air and assaulting my nose.

OMG I love lemon curd (or lime curd). I'm not a sweet lover, and those are just enough of a mix of sweet/tart for me. YUM!

Nutella has a weird taste to me.

For those that like Nutella, this just, coincidentally, came up in my feed: Mini No-bake Nutella Cheesecakes

I love Nutella so much that I try not to buy it very often maybe once or twice a year I buy a jar of it. Love it spread on a warm tortilla with or without banana slices and rolled up. I could eat it by the spoonful.

Blech!!!

I have a jar but way too many calories for me to indulge. I do like hazelnut coffee. Always get it at Panera.

On heavy whole wheat toast, please! I have too little self control to keep it in the house. It would be interesting to try the less sweet version OklaMoni speaks of because, to tell the truth, it really does just seem like chocolate frosting to me.

I planted hazel nuts six years ago. Maybe I'll have a little harvest this year.

No, I'm among those that don't really care for hazelnut. So many Euro chocolate treats have it, too! My ex DH was fond of hazelnut liquor-- I never could stand it.

An acquaintance who was a pro cyclist, living in Spain, complained that he was sick of Nutella and longing for peanut butter -- more specifically, fluffernutter!

When I was a kid we used a Chocolately Hazelnut spread often. I don't know if it was Nutella but it was delicious. The Nutella today is awful. It has little hazelnut flavor and way too much sweetness and chocolate. Perhaps the spread I ate as a child was an import. I have read that they have changed the recipe quite a few times over the years.

I am another Lemon Curd fan.

I would be a nay....

I don't care for it. I don't buy it. Occasionally I buy the small individual packs with little breadsticks that they have beside the checkout a t the store for the kids. The boys do like it I just don't buy a jar of it. Lemon curd I see in the jelly section which I was told taste and looks like the filling in lemon pie...is this true?

NO! It's gross. If you want a good chocolate spread (Nutella has very little chocolate), find a deli or Dutch store and buy this:

I tried it once and it was OK but not something I would buy.

Now lemon curd is some fantastic stuff!. I like to have a little on occasion. If you have a chance to try lemon curd on Cajun calas go for it!

I replied to this yesterday, but my response seems to have gone into outerspace. The first time we had Nutella was when we lived in Germany. From the first moment we tasted it spread on toast, we were hooked and started putting it on everything we thought it might be good on. When we moved back to the Continental US, we were so disappointed not to be able to purchase Nutella for no stores carried it. Finally, after being deprived of Nutella for several years, it started being stocked in one grocery store. We were so excited and pigged out. It is still a staple that is always in my pantry to this day.
