Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I have always had it in the back of my mind that I'd like to make nutella from scratch someday. Ever since I read someplace that the American version has all sorts of unsavory ingredients, I figured it would be a good idea to try to make a more natural batch (and besides, making your own chocolate hazelnut spread means that you get to lick the spoon when you're done).
Elana says it's a little labor intensive, but well worth the effort. Thanks for the delicious picture and the reminder to make this, Elana!

I could be wrong but certainly plenty of big chocolate companies do. I'd love to have nutella in the house again - I'm sure homemade is well worth the effort.

On an ethical scale they're not bad, well at least according to this site

I work off a basis that is chocolate hazelnut butter, and add powdered milk to that. On a positive note around nutella, it was the inspiration for plumpy-nut, a formula used to restore undernourished children in underdeveloped parts of the world.
