tasty things in life: chocolate + hazelnut

I love hazelnuts. And I love chocolate. It’d be a safe bet to say that I also love nutella.

I recently made some lovely chocolate hazelnut cupcakes for my friend, Stacey, to celebrate her birthday.

I cheated a little and made Devil’s Food cupcakes from a box. I put in a dollop of nutella into the batter before baking them. The dollop created a little chocolatey center (or in some cases, chocolatey bottom). The frosting is a cream cheese nutella frosting and a healthy sprinkling of roasted hazelnuts as a topper. The cute birthday cake decoration is from Do It With Icing!

Homemade cupcakes are truly a wonderful tasty thing in life.

What’s your favorite way to eat nutella?

    I eating Nutella directly from a spoon, in my pajamas in front of an open cupboard. Spoon is entirely optional. Those cupcakes sound intense — my kind of dessert!

    Those cupcakes were so unbelievably good.

    Hi Darlene – Sometimes that is the best way to eat nutella. Another good way is melted inside of a crepe… aw, I think I just gave myself a craving!

    Those are pretty and delish-looking cupcakes. I love chocolate, hazelnut and cheese nutella. These cupcakes have all the sweets I love. Stacey must have been thrilled with this home-made birthday cupcakes.

about this site

My name is Mary. I love: peanut butter, cookies, warm cupcakes, puppy noses, star gazing, new bags of sugar, sprinkles, cupcake wrappers, egg rolls, eating french fries with ice cream, driving with the windows down, snuggling, wes anderson movies, staying up too late reading a good book and Jake. These are my adventures in all things food. Hope you enjoy the ride.
