Famous Greek philosopher Socrates once said: there’s no wrong way to eat Nutella. Slathered on toast, baked into cupcakes, or straight out of the jar, the original hazelnut spread makes any meal a lot sweeter. That’s why finding a recipe for Nutella breakfast cereal (originally published by A Beautiful Mess and then picked up by Huffington Post) was the best discovery of 2015. Or maybe ever. Chocolatey, nutty, and perfectly crunchy, this cereal kicks your standard Cheerios to the curb. And the three-step, seven-ingredient recipe could not be any easier. You’ll definitely want to make this cereal everyday.
