The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope that you are all doing just fine!

Now I want to tell you about this amazing thing, called Nutella and how I just love it.

Well, you know, that there are many different chocolate pastes and it’s just really unbelievable how many of them are there in the world, however, this Nutella paste is just amazing and I haven’t tasted anything like that so far. I don’t really know, what other people eat when they want to have some chocolate paste eaten, so that it’s really good if you have some Nutella in your house and then you can eat it whenever you want. You know, I don’t really want to have Nutella sometimes when I have it at home, it’s like, I want it when I don’t have it and when I have it, I don’t really want to eat it at that time. That’s just ridiculous, however, it’s kind of good not to eat much of those chocolate pastes and sweets, you know.

Anyways, there are these commercials on TV and other places, where you see this Nutella chocolate paste and it looks just amazing and it looks delicious and you just simply can’t imagine life without Nutella then. I can say, that those commercials are not lying, I mean, this chocolate paste is just amazing and everyone should taste it at least once, if you ask me. Well, its amazing taste comes from those hazelnuts, I guess, and I just love hazelnuts. There’s this another chocolate paste, which is kind of popular in Georgia and it’s called Nussa and it’s not that bad, I mean, it has this chocolate taste, however, it doesn’t have any hazelnuts, it’s only a chocolate paste and that’s why I don’t really like it, because the main thing, that I love in Nutella chocolate paste is that it contains those hazelnuts and it contains them a lot, so that it has this amazing hazelnut taste and that’s what keeps it so delicious. And this Nussa chocolate paste is just chocolate and nothing else. And, well, some people just love it, because they love chocolate paste and they don’t want hazelnut taste to be in their chocolate paste or whatever. For example, my cousin loves Nussa and he can eat it the whole can or something like that, however, he is not that keen on Nutella chocolate paste as I am. Well, he just don’t appreciate that hazelnut taste, I guess. Or, maybe if I get him taste Nutella well, he might find it more delicious than that Nussa chocolate paste. Besides, it’s not that different in prices, you know, however, Nutella is a little bit more expensive than that Nussa.

Nutella jars

Well, there are some jars of Nutella in the supermarkets and there have always been those 3 main ones, which are 350 grams Nutella jar and then there’s this huge 750 grams Nutella jar. However, this basic one has always been this 350 grams Nutella jar, which was sold everywhere in any market or supermarket, because it’s something like the normal one, I mean, the normal portion for a family or whatever, besides, the price is normal for that jar to be taken at home for just a visit to the shop. And then, when it’s finished, you can take a little time and after some time, when you will visit the shop again, you can buy another one and so on and so forth. You know, parents don’t really want their children to have much sweets or chocolate or whatever, because it’s not good for them and it’s not healthy and, well, I wouldn’t recommend having much Nutella or something like that at home, however, those children still eat some junk food and chocolate bars and some other things, which are worse than having Nutella, so that having small amounts of Nutella at home may reduce the use of other chocolate or things like that in other places. They can have Nutella breakfast, if you ask me and go happy to school or kindergarten or whatever.

Anyways, there’s this huge Nutella jar, too, which is pretty large and costs somewhere about 16 Laris, it depends on which supermarket you are buying it, while this 350 grams of Nutella jar costs about 6-8 Laris depending on the supermarket, again. We’ve only bought that huge Nutella jar for a couple of times and all the other times we had this normal Nutella jar, because it’s a normal one, you know.

Besides those two jars, there are some others, too, which you can find only in supermarkets and in the large ones and they are not in every shop and market and stuff like that. There’s this small Nutella jar, I don’t really know how many grams there are, probably it’s 150 grams or so, and it’s a small one and it’s like supposed to be for just one person and if you want to have some Nutella, but don’t want to buy that large one, you can have this small jar of Nutella just for yourself and that way, you won’t overeat Nutella or something like that and, well, at the same time, you will have a taste of Nutella just the way you wanted.

There’s another Nutella jar, which just came out recently and, to be honest, I just love those jars, because when you finish that Nutella, you can have them as a glass and you can use them like that. I already have three of them and they have those paints on them with Minions and Ice Age characters and they are pretty comfortable and it’s really easy to wash them, too. The jars are 200 grams, I guess, or maybe 250 grams even, so that there can be plenty of Nutella there for just one person. They cost somewhere about 5-6 Laris in the supermarkets, so that it’s not that amount of money for Nutella to be a reason not to buy it, besides, I have already told you, that you get to keep that glass where the Nutella is and use it as a glass of water or whatever and kids would just love them. So, I really recommend buying those glasses of Nutella chocolate paste.

Where to buy Nutella chocolate paste

Well, you can buy Nutella chocolate paste in any large supermarket, such as Fresco, Carrefour, Spar, Smart, Goodwill, etc. However, there’s a small difference between the prices there. The best way of buying Nutella chocolate paste is to buy it in Fresco supermarket, because there’s the cheapest price of Nutella chocolate paste that I’ve seen anywhere. Besides, if you have their discount card, which means having 5% of discount on your purchase products, that’s even some discount to the price you pay for Nutella. So that, if you want to buy some Nutella chocolate paste and if you happen to be nearby Fresco supermarket, go there and buy that Nutella chocolate paste there, because that’s the best you can do to buy it in the cheapest way. They have these glasses of Nutella chocolate paste in Fresco supermarket, too, and, well, that’s where I first saw them and bought them. I guess, I’ve seen them in Carrefour, too, however, I am not really sure whether I’ve seen them in other supermarkets too or not, not to mention in usual, normal markets and shops, they just have these normal 350 gram Nutella jars, I guess, if they have some.

Well, I’ve only seen those glass Nutella jars in Fresco supermarkets and once I saw them in Goodwill, too, however, if you want to buy one of them, you should definitely go to Fresco supermarkets, because you would be a hundred per cent sure, that you will find them there, and you will buy them for the best price there in Fresco, if you want to know the truth. and you can buy all those other ones in every supermarket, however, I want to repeat it, that the best price is in Fresco supermarkets for Nutella chocolate paste. I mean, it’s only 5.50 for the glass Nutella jar, when I saw it for 6 Laris or more in Goodwill or somewhere I don’t really remember it now, and, though they have raised those prices for 350 grams jars up to 7 Laris or so, it’s still cheaper than it is in other supermarkets, if you want to know the truth. And I don’t really recommend buying Nutella in some other supermarkets, if you are nearby Fresco. You know, there’s this Ori Nabiji supermarket, where that 350 grams of Nutella cost 8 Larisor so! It’s just ridiculous, if you ask me, because there shouldn’t be such difference in the prices, I mean, okay, there can be a little difference, but that is too much!

French crepe with Nutella and bananas

Well, you know, these French crepes are pretty popular nowadays and many people just love eating them, however, my sister doesn’t really like them, if you want to know the truth. Well, I just love them and I wanted to taste them very much and finally I had a taste of them last year, I guess, when my sister made some crepes for me and then we both decided to have some cream filling for it and I was really glad, that she made them for me, because we used to bake some pancakes _ me and my mom and we loved eating them, though I hadn’t tasted those crepe things and I always thought, that it would have been something really hard to prepare and I didn’t really know how to do that and no one really made them in my house. Or, at least, that’s what I thought. However, it was just recently that I realized, that those Blinis, which my aunt used to prepare were made from the exact same dough, which is crepe and though I loved those Blinis, too, I didn’t know, that it was the crepe dough in which the filling was wrapped.

Anyways, there were these photos of crepes with all those different fillings and toppings and all looked so delicious, that I wanted to taste them, however, I didn’t know, where to order them, so that once my sister sent me these pictures of her prepared crepes with simple whipping cream fillingand I thought, I would have a taste when I returned home from Germany and so that I did and my sister prepared those crepes and we had this Nutella chocolate paste and we decided to have it as some filling of those crepes, besides the usual cream filling, which my sister prepares and it’s really delicious, I must say.

So, about the crepe dough. You don’t need much ingredients, I mean, you only need eggs, some milk and water and flour and some oil. Well, you can add some other ingredients, too, such as sugar and vanilla, however, you can just have plain crepe dough and the Nutella chocolate paste taste will do the rest!

And, another thing, if you don’t have a pan for crepes, you should not worry about that, because the usual pan will be alright, too, and you don’t really have to buy that special pan for crepes, because it’s not really necessary, I mean, my sister had this idea of buying that pan, however, she realized, that she could just prepare those ones in a plain frying pan and it would still come out great, so why bother buying the other pan when you can use what you already have, right?!

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup of milk
  • ¼ cup of water
  • Vanilla
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbs melted butter or oil
  • Sugar to taste (optional)

Preparation process

Well, the preparation process is pretty easy, I mean, you only have to collect all the ingredients in a bowl or a blender or whatever and mix them well together. Vanilla gives the dough that special taste, which is great in desserts, so if you don’t want the crepe dough to be used in not-dessert dishes, you can use vanilla in the dough and make it more delicious with that Nutella paste. I don’t really use sugar to add to the crepe, because vanilla envelopes already contain some sugar, besides, it’s extra, if you ask me and it doesn’t really need to have some sugar in the crepe. However, if you want your crepes to be sweet, you can add sugar and you can have 2 tbs of sugaror even more, it all depends on how sweet you want your crepes to be, though remember, that you will have to spread that Nutella chocolate paste on those crepes and that paste is pretty sweet, too, so that keep that in mind and decide wisely, whether you want to have too much sugar in your crepe dough or not! Well, I would really stick to the plain dough if I were you.

Nutella and french crepe with Nutella and bananas

Anyways, when you have mixed all those ingredients together well, it’s time for the magic to begin, I mean, it’s like the favourite part of some people, while it’s not for some. I mean, children mostly like this part, because it’s fun for them and if the cook knows how to turn the crepe on that frying pan with throwing it up and then down, that’s the most wonderful part of it and children just enjoy that, however, most people here, I mean, my aunt or whoever prepared that crepe, didn’t bother to learn throwing crepes here and there and so that children wouldn’t see that thing in our house. However, watching movies gives you some kind of imagination and you know how cooks do that and do this and you always want your aunts or mothers or grandmothers be like that and cook like that, though it’s pretty hard, you know. So that the cooking part of those crepes is kind of tiring for them, I guess, because you have to pour a tablespoon of that doughand then it should be spread out to the whole pan and after a couple of seconds, you have to turn it on the other side.

So, I’ve already told you the cooking part, if you noticed, and that’s pretty much it! The crepes are ready to be eaten! You know, some people just eat those things like that, it’s really not that bad, and some people just use to sprinkle some white granulated sugar or sugar powder to them and eat them like that. It’s really tasty to eat them that way, too, if you want to know the truth. However, my recipe of adding Nutella chocolate paste and bananas to those crepes are much better and more delicious, of course. Well, you know, many people just love Nutella and me and my sister and brother love Nutella very much, too. I’ve tried other chocolate pastes, however, nothing compares with Nutella. I don’t know why, but it’s the most delicious chocolate paste that I’ve ever tasted!

Well, all you have to do is to take one crepe and spread that Nutella chocolate paste on it and have some slices of banana and put them on the chocolate paste and then just fold the crepe. You can even pour some chocolate ganache or glaze on those crepes afterwards. That is just horribly delicious, if you ask me and, you should trust me on that, when I say, that it’s really, really delicious! Though, maybe you won’ t be able to eat many of those crepes, because Nutella chocolate paste is pretty much sweet and those crepes are not that easy to eat, you know. And there’s no need to eat much of them, of course. You should just have a taste of them and that’s it. Don’t get all crazy and eat all those crepes at once!(I’m saying that, because with all those ingredients you can get many crepes, because one crepe only needs 1 tablespoon of that dough), so that, you should know, that you will get as many crepes as you want with that dough and it will be more than enough, if you ask me. That means, that you shouldn’t prepare so much just for yourself! You should really have some people come over and have a small party or something.
