Soooo can anyone guess what Nutella has in it? Chocolate and hazelnut! And so much deliciousness. (And a crapload of sugar and saturated fat…) Is there anyone out there who can stop at just one spoonful of Nutella? Yeah, me neither. That’s why I don’t own any. Instead, I made a mugcake that kinda tastes like it!
So during my extract buying extravaganza, I got my hands on some caramel extract and some hazelnut extract. I wasn’t sure what I was going to use them in, and then it hit me. Make. Some. Nutella. Mugcake.
You do have to be a little bit careful with how much hazelnut extract you put in…it’s pretty strong. Here’s a little bonus Christmas tree shot!
I don’t know about everyone else, but I did some serious cyber-Monday shopping. It didn’t seem like the deals were as good this year as they were last year but I still managed to snag some good stuff for gifts and for myself of course. I just can’t pass up some of the deals!
