Ohhhh, but there’s more.
I fell in love with Nutella several summers ago at a bed-and-breakfast in Munich. This bed-and-breakfast served Nutella in individual butter-sized containers, which made them very convenient to hide in my pocket and ingest at regular intervals throughout the day. There is no telling how many hazelnuts passed through my body that summer.
I have since incorporated Nutella into heaven-knows-how-many cookies, cakes and banana sandwiches. This is my best invention yet.
BEHOLD!
Yes. Nutella puppy chow.
Perhaps subliminally I incorporated the bag into the picture as a buffering device. I could truly eat the entire bag myself. In fact, as I am posting about Nutella puppy chow, I am wiping the powdered sugar from my fingers.
If you begin to eat this, you will not be able to stop.
Nutella Puppy Chow
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup Nutella
1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup hazelnuts
1 12oz box hearty Chex cereal
2 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roast hazelnuts until fragrant, or about 8 minutes.
2. Grind the hazelnuts finely in a food processor.
3. Over medium-low heat, melt butter, chocolate and white chocolate, stirring constantly. When all is melted, remove from heat and pour into a large bowl. Add Nutella and stir until smooth.
4. Add the hazelnuts and stir until well-mixed.
5. Slowly pour the cereal into the gooey mixture, using your hands to coat the Chex mix. (No worries if the cereal breaks — it will clump with the topping and morph into deliciousness.)
6. Pour half the cereal into a gallon-sized baggie along with 1 cup of powdered sugar. Shake the baggie until the cereal is coated. Repeat with the other half of the cereal and the second cup of powdered sugar.
(Optional step seven: enjoy with Welch’s sparkling grape juice. There’s a reason the bottle is empty…)
