Rest in peace, Michele Ferrero—we have so much to thank him for, including the beautiful creation that is Nutella. It is truly the most delectable chocolate hazelnut spread that exists.
Whether paired only with a spoon (#guilty), or spread over some toast with sliced bananas, Nutella has proven it can be enjoyed in its perfect simplicity.
Even though it’s a god of a spread on its own, Nutella can also be seamlessly incorporated into a variety of other dishes. Check out these 10 must-try Nutella recipes to celebrate the work of Michele Ferrero.
