Nutella
Imagine, if you will, that you’re late to work, you can’t find your shoes, you’re only wearing one earring, and you have three tiny faces staring at you with hunger in their eyes…what do you do?? You get out the Nutella! It’s like creamy chocolate peanut butter {technically it’s hazlenut.} If you have 2 minutes, a toaster and some whole grain bread, you can make a warm Nutella sammich {after the toast pops out of the toaster, spread the Nutella and fold the bread in half to make a half-sammich.} It’s warm and tasty and you can eat it with one hand while flying out the door!
Note: the Pepperidge Farm 15 grain bread shown above pairs well with the Nutella due to a nutty taste all its own!

From their website:
Nutella® hazelnut spread was first imported from Italy to the U.S. over 25 years ago by Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. The popularity of Nutella® has grown steadily over the years and it is the number one selling branded hazelnut spread in America.
The unique taste of Nutella® hazelnut spread continues to come from the combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa. In addition, Nutella® has no artificial colors or preservatives.
Nutella® spread, in its earliest form, was created in the 1940s by Mr. Pietro Ferrero, a pastry maker and founder of the Ferrero company. At the time, there was very little chocolate because cocoa was in short supply due to World War II rationing. So Mr. Ferrero used hazelnuts, which are plentiful in the Piedmont region of Italy (northwest), to extend the chocolate supply.
