All Purpose Condiment

While traveling the globe last spring, I noticed that Nutella was the condiment of choice in Europe. Tables are adorned with single packets of Nutella in place of the traditional jams or jellies. I've always enjoyed the delightful taste of this chocolate and hazelnut blend, but never realized it's full potential until then. I happily slapped it on anything that stood still. I'm sure I'll never have anything as delicious as my Nutella and banana crepe in Paris. Thinking about it makes my mouth water. I've introduced this lovely treasure to a friend and he's been testing it on everything. Here are our findings: Nutella pairs well with...waffles, Ritz crackers, chips and salsa, grilled cheese sandwiches, and just with a spoon right out of the jar. Have any other ideas? I've got a fresh jar on stand-by.
