What you see is what you will eat, take a look at the ingredient list of the Nutella bottle you will notice that there is only 13% of hazelnut and 8.7% of cocoa, and the main ingredient as listed FIRST is sugar and follow by vegetable oil (in other word 'trans-fat'), both make up a total of about 60-70%!!
Don't be intimidated by the mystically yummy nutella and you can make it yourself and it is surprisingly EASY!
There are so many ways to substitute your ingredient according to your liking, I choose the healthies option known to me, you can't tell the different when the hazelnut is so nuttyly yummy with the high quality chocolate, it is better than Nutella!!
