As you may know, the 5th
of February is the World Nutella Day. On that occasion, I decided to challenge
myself and try 3 Nutella recipes, one each day for 3 consecutive days: February
5, 6, and 7. Here are the three recipes that I tried, and that impressed all my
family… They definitely want to see more of Nutella in the things I cook… Hope
you enjoy these recipes as much as we did here!!
