when i was in college my roommate loved nutella. for some reason i refused to try it and avoided it like the plague for years. however, a few months ago my mom made a dessert that had nutella in the recipe, and i was surprised to find out that i really liked it. after reading the ingredients on the back of the jar, i was thrilled to see that it didn't contain corn syrup too.
since then, ryan and i have been big fans of nutella. so, i was intrigued when i came across a recipe for nutella french toast last week. we decided to make it on sunday morning for breakfast, and we really enjoyed it. the hint of nutella added just the right amount of flavor to the french toast without being overpowering or too sweet. it was the perfect way to kick off a weekend morning!
