Nutella gets lighter and sweeter. Aka more milk powder and sugar

Nutella is grim and you have no shame if you are feeding that filth to your children.

Thank you for allowing me that puritanical moment Wink

Do you remember the advert when they tried to market it as a healthy breakfast spread?

Yes I remember it 😂 Don’t get me wrong I like Nutella pancakes for breakfast now and then as do Dh and my dc but I’m not buying it thinking it’s healthy for us.

These are the ingredients Sugar, Palm Oil, Hazelnuts (13%), Fat-Reduced Cocoa (7.4%), Skimmed Milk Powder (6.6%), Whey Powder (Milk), Emulsifier: Lecithin (Soya), Vanillin. I mean who is reading that and thinking it’s a healthy breakfast!

I don’t think it will change the taste much as they aren’t really changing the recipe by much, I can’t see me stopping buying it

maybe we should petition mn for various companies to send us chocolate-hazelnut spread samples so we can vote for the best.

I remember nutella being marketed as something healthy when I was little. I loved the taste too, but always found it quite messy on bread. If it contains any added sweeteners, how could it be healthy? I did hear it said somewhere that sugar acts like cocaine on the brain and prevents you from feeling full. Then again cigarettes were marketed once as healthy too.

You know what is actually healthy and delicious? Actual hazelnuts. I want to get me some of those today.

What was the original fat in Nutella? Has it always been palm oil?

They also made the wedges on choc oranges have a little edge on them so you lost a mm of choc between each wedge. I couldn't put my finger on the waxy taste but I see that now. Damn them.

Maybe this is why Hershey chocolate is so horrible. Are we headed there?! 😭

From health food shops and farm shops, DanicaJones. It's made by these people (this links to their palm oil policy):

Sugar is still the main ingredient, but it is so much nicer than Nutella. I had actual Nutella the other day and thought it wasn't nice at all.

And now they're changing Nutella!

I used to have chocolate spread when I was little in the 60s/70s. Dark and shiny like Marmite, but it came in a round plastic tub.

Haven't seen it for decades.

Tried Hershey chocolate when I was in Seattle, tastes like vomit to me.

Hershey chocolate has butyric acid added to make it last longer. Butyric acid smells like vomit.

Hotel Chocolate stuff is full of palm oil and is utterly tasteless. Dh felt sick after eating some the other day and it ended up in the bin.

The vegan chocolate from the veggie stores was lovely though so will just stick to that I think.

Sorry. It does.

Seems the blasted thing is everywhere. I've gone off chocolate. Will make some homemade truffles for Christmas.

I find Hotel Chocolat really awful, like eating vaguely chocolatey soap. It's all packaging and hype.

DD forced herself to sample Lindt chocolate spread whilst we were in Germany earlier in the year. I am a savoury person however I am reliably informed a chocolate lover would not be dissapointed.
