Time to learn some interesting ‘Nutella hacks’

1. Sandwich style: Nutella can be easily and deliciously sandwiched between anything and everything. Cookies, sandwiches, buns, graham crackers, etc. You can also stuff it inside a number of things like crescent rolls, pancakes, truffles, cupcakes and more.
2. Dip, dunk and lick: Nutella has been forever treating our taste buds single-handedly. Ever tried dipping into your favourite snacks or munchies, the taste just doubles. Don’t believe it, try it out with biscuits, Oreo, cookies, churros, strawberries, bananas, chocolate bars, etc. You will thank us later!
3. Drink, drink, drink: If you haven’t yet tried a Nutella beverage, you’re missing out on one of the best things in life. Whether it is freak shakes, hot chocolates, smoothies or just a simple Nutella milk. This gorgeous spread literally has the superpower to make anything extra comforting and decadent.
4. The perfect pizza:  We don’t think it can get any better than this. You can actually get creative in this one. Take a pizza base and bake it slightly without any toppings. Pull it out when warm,  spread copious amounts of Nutella on it and any of your favourite toppings like marshmallows, strawberries, bananas, etc.  Wait back for a short and sweet sugar rush!
