Classic Organic Hazelnut Spread

Really tasty but not healthy at all. It could definitely have more hazelnuts and less sugar.

I like to amp up my choc chip cookies by adding a ball or dab of hazelnut chocolate spread in the middle and add flaky sea salt on top. I had purchased this bottle of Nutiva some time ago as I was unable to get my favorite brand. This one is much more accessible but unfortunately it uses palm oil. It’s not overwhelmingly sweet on its own (comparatively to some) so it works well in this context. If you want pretty and more uniform filling, it’s best to dab on some parchment or something else nonstick and freeze in balls; then you can wrap them inside your cookie dough. Or you can just go with it and add a dab to a cookie dough well and wrap the dough around it. In this case you may get some chocolatey streaks. #hazelnuts #chocolatehazelnut #chocolatehazelnutspread

I found a great vegan alternative to Nutella from Nutiva. Their classic hazelnut spread has a great hazelnut-chocolate combo that goes excellent with berries. (8/10)

Finally opened and used this .. I don’t know what I was waiting for .. it’s delicious.. I used it to make fudge … one bag of chocolate chips (yes of course vegan) and one jar of this. Making goodies for neighbors.. #recyclable #glutenfree

I was ecstatic to find a vegan alternative for Nutella. It was at my local Walmart. This is reduced sugar, so not as sweet as what I remember with Nutella, but that's too be expected at 40% les sugar, and I prefer to cut back on sugar intake, so it's good for me. It does contain palm oil, but says it is orangutan and rainforest safe palm oil (they call it Palm Done Right). I looked at up online and they explain what their methods are. Hopefully it's legitimate. I take those things with a grain of salt because too much of the time they are marketing strategies, so who knows for sure. As far as the texture, it's pretty stiff to spread but spread nicely if you're putting it in something warm. I've had it for about a month and there is a slight change in consistency in the jar itself, some separation at a very minor level perhaps, but that's not a game change for me. I have enjoyed adding this to my options for snacking or the occasional breakfast.
