World Nutella Day!
Today, February 5, 2011 is World Nutella Day. The celebration started back on 2007. See declaration below.
Sara from Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle from Bleeding Espresso (and Shelley from At Home in Rome, in spirit) solemnly declare Saturday, February 5th “World Nutella Day 2011″ – a day to celebrate, to get creative with, and most importantly, to EAT Nutella.
I was glad to see the posting on WordPress about this celebration. Since I was a kid I have loved it’s strong flavor and I always preferred it with white bread. What I can say, I am a common person. In the spirit of Nutella day I decided to take a minute to make something quick with Nutella.
Yummy Ice Cream
Add chocolate ice cream in a small cup. Then, add a spoon of peanut butter and top with a small amount of Nutella. Top with your favorite decorations and enjoy the day.
