15 Ways to Eat Nutella Before the Nutella Apocalypse Happens

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but. . .you guys. Nutella is in trouble. The luxuriously creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread we use to make bananas and toast taste infinitely better is now going to cost us at least twice as much because of a low hazelnut crop yield in Turkey. According to Mic, Turkey supplies about 70 percent of the entire world’s hazelnut inventory. Due to bad weather, Turkey’s hazelnut crops have not produced nearly enough to satisfy our universal Nutella obsession (each jar contains 50 hazelnuts!).

Since it’s completely understandable to run to the grocery store right this minute and grab ALL the Nutella jars on the shelf (I already did, so no judgment from me), we thought it would be fun to inspire some Nutella-licious creations. Because who knows when we’ll be able to indulge like this again?
