Nutella Hot Chocolate on a Stick
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is baking for my friends and family. Baked goods make great gifts, especially for those of us who are always on a tight budget! When you’re baking for gifts, easy recipes are a must! Because let’s be honest, who has the time to make a lot of long, complicated recipes?!
When I was a kid there was this really great kitchen store at our local mall. I wish I could remember what it was called. I remember being amazed by these chocolate spoons for stirring into a hot beverage. I thought it was genius!
A number of years ago when I was baking holiday gifts I thought of these spoons. They seemed easy enough to recreate and some cute wrapping would make them into perfect gifts. I did this for a few years, but have started seeing these spoons around again so now I have to step up my game!
How better to step it up than but adding Nutella?! Nutella is heaven in a jar. It is the most addicting, delicious, guilty pleasure. And yes, I eat it by the spoonful and no, I have no shame about this. This Nutella hot chocolate on a stick was so good that my husband, who is not a sweets fan, drank the hot chocolate I made!!! So make these for gifts, save a few for yourself, and enjoy the most divinely rich hot chocolate you’ve ever had!
