World Nutella Day 2010

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We interrupt our normal Travel Photo Friday schedule to bring you something a bit more sinful and delicious today.

Yep, that’s right. It’s World Nutella Day!

I have always been a fan of Nutella, but it wasn’t until a few years back that a few bloggers got together and decided to dedicate a whole day to the chocolate-hazelnut spread. Sara and Michelle are hosting this event.

I am a big fan of celebratory days like Valentine’s Day, but I also think one should explore and celebrate their love and in this case, love for Nutella- any chance they get.

This is my third year participating and since I, like many others, are short on time, I wanted to showcase something so incredibly easy to make that even time-challanged-baking-haters could enjoy Nutella as well.

In years past, I have made Grilled Nutella Sandwiches and Nutella Stuffed French Toast. And while I couldn’t imagine it getting any simpler than that- I think I have managed to up the easiness factor yet again!

This year I bring you:

Bite-sized Amaretti Cookie and Nutella Sandwiches.

You can find mini Italian amaretti cookies at your local Italian deli or perhaps your local market.

Just flip them flat side up, shmere a nice glob of Nutella on one half, top it with the other half and smoosh together until the hazlenut spread starts to ooze out of the side. Pop ‘em whole – right into your mouth.

The crunchy, almondy sweetness of the cookie marries perfectly with the creamy Nutella. They are extra enjoyable alongside a cup of steaming hot espresso. Or perhaps with a glass of ice-cold milk – an afternoon snack for the child in you.

But the best part – for today only – eat as many as you like. There are no calories on World Nutella Day

And if you have the time and are feeling adventurous- try Nutella filled doughnuts from bell’alimento, who is a good friend to this site.

Well, have fun celebrating Nutella!

Happy World Nutella Day 2010!

Oooh, excellent! I’m celebrating, too, with nutella-dillas. Spread nutella on flour tortillas and toast in a frying pan like you would a quesadilla. Serve with a little vanilla ice cream. Yummy!

Ciao, bella!

Oh no – World Nutella day! Glad the day is over before my kids found out
(Nothing like a Nutella pancake on a Paris street corner, is it?)
