I don't eat a ton of sweet things in my life and yes of course I love the classic PB&J... but Nutella, is well...like an addiction.  Okay, maybe that's a little strong, but I currently have 3 jars of it in my pantry!  LOL.  I'm sure you know the stand by uses for it: 1. Nutella Sandwich 2. Crackers and Nutella 3. Spoon straight into the Jar (still my fave)!

Below are some creative uses for it.  So be sure to stop by the store and pick up a jar, after all, it is World Nutella Day, and try a few of these things!
