Chocolate Chipped

So Many Possibilities! Chocolate Banana Pot Stickers

Potstickers Step 10 by meeyauw

You've had pot stickers at your favorite Chinese restaurant, right?

Usually they have some sort of savory concoction in there, and there's a dipping sauce that goes along with it (soooo yummy!)

Well, these are pot stickers of the desert variety, because instead of containing savory ingredients like veggies and stuff, they are filled with bananas and chocolate!

Basically, these are wantons, filled with bananas and melted chocolate chips, which are then fried and drizzled with chocolate (how can that be wrong?)

Needless to say, if you don't like the banana chocolate combo, you could do strawberries and chocolate or peanut butter and chocolate or make it a rocky road thing with marshmallows and chocolate.

OR use Nutella!!!!!!

So many possibilities!

Tropical Breakfast Paradise: Nutella, Banana, and Coconut Waffle

One of the things you have to love about Nutella is that it legitimizes the concept of eating chocolate for breakfast! We’re all for that, aren’t we?

But I could also see any of the Nutella “breakfasts” we’ve seen this week doubling as a dessert–so versatile.

Well, here we have a waffle (probably homemade, but you could use the frozen kind too) drizzled with Nutella, with bananas, and sprinkled with coconut flakes. How simple is that, and yet it’s totally genius!

Now, obvy this poundcake, nutella, strawberry sandwich was put in a panini press.

Imagine the crispiness of the outside and then the Nutella gets all melty on the inside, and then all of the sudden you’re eating a chocolate covered strawberries sandwich!

There is no recipe for this other than: Poundcake + Nutella + Strawberries = YUMMMMM!

Holy cow! How sinfully gorgeous is this? I am in love with this photo.

Robyn Lee took this photo of this super-special sandwich which she discovered on a menu in a restaurant.

If you’re craving this sammich right now, there’s no need to go out to a restaurant for it–it’s simple enough to make:

1) Make French Toast.

2) Spread one slice of still warm French Toast with Nutella.

3) Spread other slice of still warm French Toast with Marshmallow Fluff.

4) Mash both sides together into a beautiful mess.

5) Swoon. (Then chow down)

Oy, I had to show you guys this–guess what this is?

It’s Nutella! In case you’ve never had Nutella before–you MUST. I am like addicted to this stuff.

This stuff comes in a jar in the grocery store, and it is pure heaven. It’s chocolate hazelnut spread, and it is perfectly legitimate to eat it for breakfast (or dessert, or a midnight snack, or whenever).

Here are my favorite ways of eating Nutella:

*Straight out of the jar, on a spoon
*Pretzels dipped in Nutella
*Spread on a chocolate chip bagel
*Spread on a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream
*Smores!
*As a filling for crepes
*An open-faced Nutella, peanut butter and banana sandwich

Oh, I could go on and on! But enough about me–what is your favorite way to eat Nutella? Please share!
