Five years ago, I had a dream that one day all Nutella lovers would unite and eat Nutella for just one day. And a holiday was born! Hundreds of recipes and thousands of fans later, we’re ready for the 5th anniversary of World Nutella Day!
Are you???

Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso solemnly declare Saturday, February 5th “World Nutella Day 2011″ – a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella.
It’s Easy!
Make a recipe using Nutella. Eat Nutella with a spoon. A big one. Make art with Nutella. Wax poetic about Nutella. Cuddle with Nutella. Strike a pose with Nutella. Re-live your first experience eating Nutella. Offer Nutella as a sacrifice. Have a Nutella-eating contest or a Nutella party!

Thanks everyone! We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
It will be my first time participating and I’m so excited. I recently posted a Nutella recipe and a reader told me about your event. Glad to have found you!
Mnnnnnnnn, what is it about Nutella. Great idea.
Wow, a Nutella Day :) this would be my hubby fave day ever ;) Great idea you had, congrats! I have found your site while searching for neat Nutella links for my English-speaking friends. Nice blog! I am Italian, but currently living in Scotland :)
I just wanted to let you know that I will be doing a World Nutella Day post with links to the main site etc. No recipe though as I do NOT like Nutella :)
I am so excited for world nutella day! My roomate and I will be celebrating for the first time this year and plan on eating it at every meal, thanks for making us aware of this fabulous holiday!
My post is up! Off to lick bowls and instruments clean.
Ciao
Thanks for an incredible holiday to celebrate a great product…my post is up. Check it out for Grilled Nutella and Banana sandwiches!!
Boo, down with chocolate flavoured vegetable oil! With all the great things Italians have to offer, I don’t understand why this brown, overly sweet margarine is so popular.
Novi makes an excellent chocolate hazelnut spread, though it seems hard to come by. I’ve only ever seen it for sale at the Metro near Busto Arsizio.
