Here is an excerpt about the nutritional value of Nutella. We have never purchased it, and so I wanted to know if it was a good nut butter like the all natural peanut butter we enjoy. There is nothng too bad, but it is definately a treat.-Allison
Conclusion No 2:
Think of Nutella as chocolate in spreadable form. With 30 per cent fat and almost 55 per cent sugar, Nutella almost mirrors chocolate in its composition. In fact, Nutella is more akin to milk chocolate with hazelnuts for fat, sugar and kilojoules, they’re so close. See my comparison of the two weight for weight: Nutella side by side with Cadbury Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts.
