In Tribute: 7 Nutella Recipes to Make Your Day

After the billionaire chocolatier Michele Ferrero, whose company is most famous for Nutella, died over the weekend, StepFeed could think of no better tribute than to spend the day eating the hazelnut spread. We did it for the article, we swear. #sorrynotsorry

While pretty much anything you can dip into Nutella is considered an acceptable delivery device in our office, there's definitely some creative ways to spice it up. Here's seven of our favorites:

Nutella, fudge, five minutes. Can it get better? This recipe from damyhealth.com is also vegan and gluten free, for bonus health points. Because that's why we eat Nutella. For the hazelnuts.

This gooey deliciousness is exactly how we want to start a weekend morning. This recipe from justataste.com may be slightly more difficult than regular French toast, but it’s worth it.

Nutella, chocolate pudding and brownies. Sweetness overload or perfection? We say there is no such thing as too much sugar. Try this recipe from somethingswanky.com and decide for yourself.

Sometimes it just takes a little Nutella to make a recipe pop, like the swirl of the hazelnut goodness in these cheesecake bars from thekitchenprepblog.com .

Cozycountryliving.com has you covered on your next hike with their Nutella s'mores oatmeal bars. The extra sweet from Nutella, marshmallows and chocolate is balanced out by the healthy oatmeal ... or so we tell ourselves.

You’ll have to file this recipe away until next fall, when pumpkins are back in the markets. Until then, we'll be dreaming about giving this drool-worthy pumpkin pie from sallysbakingaddiction.com a test run. Pumpkin and Nutella? Home run.

Sometimes the simplest idea is the best: Nutella yogurt fruit dip. Two ingredients, three minutes and you have the perfect afternoon snack with this idea from babble.com .
