Hazelnut Spread



I love this stuff!!!

Not only is it healthier then typical peanut butter.It has 30 less calories than PB and 60 less calories from fat then PB. It has a little higher fat, but NO Polyunsaturated or Monounsaturated Fat, unlike PB. It has 10 mg of sodium compared to the 150 mg of sodium found in PB. While PB has more protein and Vitamin E,Riboflavin and niacin, The Hazelnut Spread has Calcium, Iron and a lower level of protein. Once again I can read and pronounce all the ingredients in the hazelnut spread.

My kids think it taste like chocolate frosting. We eat it on whole grain toast or crackers. A real treat is animal crackers dipped into the spread. Which by the way is a million times healthier than actual frosting.
