My best friend from my childhood was the first person to introduce me to Nutella. Â I remember the feeling of excitement when she told me her mom let her have chocolate on her toast. Â My 5 year old self was probably in shock. Â Chocolate on toast? Â What could be more amazing? Â And, it was just that. Â From that moment my love affair with Nutella began. Â Thick, delicious, chocolately with that perfect hazelnut taste, I loved Nutella on toast, on apples, and spread on any bread product from english muffins to croissants.
My Nutella Story surrounds my connection with Nutella and friends and family. Â Many meals, many desserts and shared memories with one thing in common – Nutella. Â From travels in Europe, to sandwiches on a picnic at the zoo so many wonderful stories.
Nutella is looking for your story to share on Nutella Stories to celebrate the 50th Birthday of Nutella.
I had the special opportunity to meet with Olympic Medallist Joannie Rochette about her Nutella Story. Â I absolutely loved chatting with Joannie over Nutella crepes with my boys. Â She was so real and down to earth and loved the way she described that Nutella was part of her day and her training for many years. Â Like many athletes Joannie is superstitious and has to have the same meal before every competition. Â Her meal MUST include Nutella. Â While travelling the world to skate and compete Joannie always has Nutella packed in her bag.
The boys loved meeting Joannie too and marvelled at the GIANT Nutella. Â If only it came in that size for home consumption :)
I was so inspired by the event and Nutella’s birthday I created my own recipe to celebrate. Â Check out my Mini Nutella Cheesecake with Oreo Crust.
Don’t forget to share your Nutella stories. Â I can’t wait to read all about them!
That is one GIANT jar of Nutella!!! I love the taste of Nutella.

Wow that’s a lot of Nutella! My kids would be in heaven!
I missed out as a kid and never really had Nutella, BUT I have made up for it as an adult!!! Love Nutella on a toasted bagel in the morning.

We love Nutella! I remember spreading 2 inches of Nutella on my toast when I was a kid.

I still spread a generous helping!
It is only recently that I had Nutella–and I really loved it. I was deprived of this as a child probably because my Mom believed in healthy foods that did not contain chocolate even why back then.

Nutella was always a special treat when I was little. I loved it on soft white bread. My kids eat it almost daily now. Sometimes I sneak a little bit, too!

Well, I am very surprised. I had no idea they’ve been around 50 years. I’d only just heard of them a couple years ago.

My son was on a toast and Nutella kick for a while. He ate it every day for breakfast for a month straight. I love putting it on ice cream. Thanks for sharing.
My mom loves nutella. I know you can just do so much with it!
