I have a slight addiction to Nutella. To the point where we cannot have it in the house, for fear of me kidnapping Tucker and holding him ransom until Charlie gives me the Nutella I had previously asked him to hide from me. Not that that ever happened. Or anything.
Anyway, World Nutella Day (February 5th) exists. It is a real thing. And I found myself completely Nutella-less on this day. It was, to put it lightly, a culinary tragedy. Luckily, I cannot be restrained to a single day, and decided to dream up a Nutella Recipe fit for a Queen and bake it on another day. Because in our household, every day is World Nutella Day.
The recipe turned out as I imagined. A crackpot of happiness, euphoria, and rainbows packaged into an edible square or rectangle. This is the Holy Grail y’all. The fountain of youth. I feel confidently about that. My dear friend Whitney was over and assisted in the photography. Try not to eat your computer screens.
