Yay! I’m looking forward to it. Actually, I’ve done my shopping and I’ll start experimenting today with a new Nutella-based recipe. It’s a bit like Christmas again, only, your family does not get mental..

Oh dear I just do not enjoy the taste of Nutella. Strange I know, I am a plain chocolate girl maybe that is the reason?
[Reply]
Mmm Nutella, for me every day is Nutella Day
[Reply]
Already? It sneaks up, doesn’t it?
Seriously, this year I hope to make some & though it isn’t fancy, I have a little camera to actually take a pic this year. Will spread the word, for sure. xoxo from icy rainy snowy DC.

I am SO ready! In fact, I am currently enjoying a cup of hot *nutella* chocolate w/ a croissant w/nutella while I think of this year’s recipe!
[Reply]
I’ll be ready! Someone called about coming over to get a tax return done and I told her I don’t work on World Nutella Day! She said she would be here Friday with a surprise for me!!! We bought our last bottle of Nutella from a Polish meat packing plant in New Britain, CT and the label is in Polish…

MMMM.. I love love love Nutella… I sometimes eat crackers with Nutella before I sleep as a night time snack.. I always pay for it in the morning when I get cramps and get constipated… but I still love it and won’t give it up! ^_^
[Reply]
I, like Joanne, have been thinking about it since around the holidays. Yes, I’m ready…..only one week away!

I just wanted to let you know that I will be doing a World Nutella Day post with links to the main site etc. No recipe though as I do NOT like Nutella
[Reply]
I’m on the road today, but didn’t forget to celebrate. Best I could do was a bagel and Nutella. But it still qualifies!
(And better than Groundhog and Nutella, that’s for sure. You will recall it is Groundhog Day as well…)
[Reply]
Yay! I am so excited.
Yummy Nutella…
[Reply]
