Sandwiches

• The spreadable quality of Nutella lends itself to a variety of sandwiches. Spread Nutella on a slice of bread and lay several banana slices on top. Then grill this fruit and chocolate combination so the bananas and chocolate meld together instead of flopping out the side. For the protein fiend, substitute Nutella for jelly or marshmallow spread on a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich.

Chocolate Sauce

• Melted Nutella makes a creamy and flavorful topping for ice cream or yogurt. Microwave a few spoonfuls of Nutella in a microwave-safe bowl for approximately 30 seconds. Stir the Nutella and continue heating until the consistency is smooth, but not entirely liquid. Pour the Nutella over your frozen dessert or mix a few spoonfuls into a cup of plain Greek yogurt.

Dippers

• Nutella's consistency lends itself well to dipping and freezing almost any fruit or bread. Start with a few bananas, some dried fruit or crackers. Microwave 1/2 cup of Nutella for approximately 45 seconds and stir until smooth. Dip your food into the Nutella, remove and lay carefully on a sheet of wax paper over a cookie pan. Freeze for 45 minutes or until the Nutella is hard. Enjoy immediately.

Baked Nutella

• Nutella offers a surprising burst of chocolate inside baked goods, pastries and bread. Swirl Nutella in raw bread dough just before baking for a chocolate accented wonder. Place a spoonful of Nutella inside a croissant for a chocolate-hazelnut filling or spread Nutella deep inside the spiraled edges of homemade cinnamon rolls. Keep the Nutella away from the surface or exterior of the dough to prevent burning.
