Today is World Nutella Day and that is a perfect excuse to get my fix for this jar of utter delight.
The warm coffee Nutella brownies with walnuts and sea salt is pure indulgence, so I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t want to share these irresistible chocolatey, gooey goodness :P.
Fun Fact: Back in 1806, Napoleon tried to take over the world by freezing British commerce, leading to a disastrous continental blockade which resulted in chocolate prices skyrocketing. The Piedmontese chocolatiers then tried to stretch the supply by adding chopped hazelnuts & called it the “gianduja”. Over a century later, the chocolates again became expensive during WWII & an Italian pastry maker Pietro Ferrero invented “Giandujot” in 1946 – a loaf made with sweet hazelnut dough, cocoa & sugar. Three years later he altered the recipe to make it spreadable & in 1964 his son Michele tweaked the recipe slightly and renamed it “Nutella”, that we all know and love.
