Hazelnut Spread Revolution

I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but we've all been lied to for as long as I can remember: Nutella is NOT the only hazelnut spread out there, and it is NOT the best one by any means. Without further ado, I present to you NuCrema. Oh, sure, NuCrema doesn't come in a fancy glass jar, but that's because Nutella hides behind its upmarket packaging to win friends and influence its uncles. Inside NuCrema's unassuming plastic tub is one of the best damn sandwich spreads you'll ever come across, and that, my friends, can never be sullied by the voracious appetite of Western consumerism.

P.S. NuCrema is also about $.15 cheaper. Which, you know, is why I tried it in the first place.

I have no trouble believing NuCrema (although it's a terrible name) is better than Nutella. We've got a similar sit-e-ation here with Trader Joe's brand of hazelnut spread. But let's be honest-it's not really a "sandwich spread" so much as it is chocolatey goodness to be eaten with a spoon. Am I right people?

I stand corrected--you have a very salient point there, Staci.
