Celebrate World Nutella Day!

Food & Recipes door thijs

Today might be a casual Thursday for a majority of people in the world, however not the hardcore fans of the chocolaty Nutella. Today is the annual Nutella celebration, a day entirely dedicated to this genius invention that, every now and then, we all indulge in.

"We had a dream. And a Spoon. Nutella Lovers Unite for Just one Day - Nutella Day!"

It is the 9th time in a row that an annual World Nutella Day celebration is going to take place. In 2007 Nutella was given its own holiday and up till this day the Nutella-fingered followers are engaging in the community activities like, creating recipes, being active on celebration's social media websites, sharing pictures and, of course, consuming Nutella like crazy.

How to participate?

If you happen to be a die hard Nutella fan/chocaholic, there are a couple of ways for you to participate:

  1. Make a recipe with Nutella, take a picture of yourself eating it with a BIG spoon, make art, wax poetic, re-live your first experience eating Nutella. Have a Nutella-eating contest or even a Nutella party!
  2. Take pictures and/or upload a video then blog about it on February 5th, 2015. In your blog post, you must include links to Ms Adventures in ItalyBleeding Espresso, and World Nutella Day as well as the World Nutella Day badge/button (below – right mouse click & save the image)
