    You see I've been a fan of Nutella since I was a kid. Growing up, we'd routinely have Nutella on toast. I also spread it on cookies, muffins, and even graham crackers.

    Even after all these years, I never lost my love of Nutella in and on everything I can think of, so I've made all kinds of sweet treats with this delicious spread. Today, I'm sharing the best of the best Nutella recipes that I've made over the years. I love them, and I know you will, too.

    What is Nutella?

    Nutella is a sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread that's been around since the early 1960s. It was created in 1963 by the Italian company, Ferrero, and brought to market in 1964. The sweetened cocoa and hazelnut spread was an immediate hit, and the rest is history.

    What pairs well with Nutella?

    The sweet chocolate and hazelnut flavors of Nutella make it a popular topping for a variety of breakfast foods as well as an ingredient in many sweet breakfast recipes or desserts.

    • Toast
    • Pancakes
    • Waffles
    • Crepes

    • Scones

    Nutella is also a popular item to include in baked goods. It's delicious in quick breads, stuffed French toast, croissants, and even pastries.
