Whoever came up with Nutella is some kind of evil genius.

A sweet chocolate and hazelnut spread?

How can anyone possibly resist?

Is Nutella Vegan?

Unfortunately, Nutella isn’t vegan since it contains dairy. It was something I was really missed once I became vegan.

Thankfully there are some amazing products that are simular, like Justin’s dairy-free chocolate hazelnut butter.

These bars turn that iconic spread into an easy on the go treat.

    This looks great. I’m a big Nutella fan. I bet I could make this into a gluten free vegan recipe for my little guy (he’s 4 and has allergies). Nice share.

    Beautiful shots and tasty idea. Could you do this with some kind of dried fruit and maybe a glucose syrup to reduce the sugar content? Thanks!

      Thank you. It would be easy to replace the corn/brown rice syrup but it would be a little tricky to replace the sugar since it’s also acting as a binder. I’ll look into making a lower sugar version.

    These look delicious! If using *actual* Nutella please be aware that it contains palm oil, which is quite bad for the earth.

      The Justin’s brand hazelnut spread is a pretty good alternative.
