Hey Ladies

For the hazelnut cake in the new SB, the ingredients call for chocolate hazelnut spread. I went looking at the store and that sounds like Nutella. Is that what you're using?

Thanks in advance

That is exactly what you want. I saw somewhere that that is the best brand (I think it was an email link to one of the cooking magazines).

hazlenut spreadbecareful, I bought the ingreds to make the cake as I sampled it at our cluster meeting, *I'm also doing the Jenny Craig diet* and I"m sure I blew my hard work, I ate the whole jar, I even dipped strawberries in it that I bought for another recipe :( I"m not even a chocolatey person, but that's the best stuff out there. I was warned at our cluster meeting too. LOL
