Saw this in the BigW catalogue and $8 for 1kg seems like a pretty good deal to me compared to what Coles sells them for at the moment.

Only 3 sleeps to go.
Only 2 sleeps to go.
Only 1 sleep to go.

      Well when I posted the deal I did comment that it was more like single / individual serve but it goes removed :-(

    • +17

      Hence why "family pack" is in quotes - OP is most definitely going to eat this by himself.

    Pity hazelnuts are third on the ingredient list, after sugar and vegetable oil. Isn't as tasty as it used to be.

    • +6

      Hazelnuts by themselves aren't tasty, it's the sugar that makes them yum.

      • -1

        Sugar by itself isn't tasty or you could just go out and buy some CSR. You need a nutty taste too.

          -Hazelnuts by themselves aren't tasty

          I thought it was the chocolate that made it tasty…

          Now I'm confused ! :S

        • @jv: I didn't exclude chocolate, you did.

        • +11

          If you like Nutella, you should try gianduja. I used to be a pastry chef — made lots of that stuff during my tenure.

          go to a fancy patissier and get some, avoid the Woolies stuff. Guaranteed you will be hooked on it.

        • @scrimshaw: Yeah, that was mentioned on the Nutella wiki page. Might try it sometime, ta.

          @scrimshaw:

          @cyrax83:

          That's why you make your own :). It's not hard. The ingredients can work out to be fairly expensive depending on where you shop and what you buy:

          Equipment
          1. Food processor, like one of these
          2. an Oven
          3. sealable container

          Ingredients

          1. 2 cups of hazelnuts, skins removed.
          2. 200g Dark chocolate — preferably in pellet form, you can buy these in Coles or Woolies. If you want to go fancy, you can try Couverture chocolate (sold in blocks, kind of expensive too)
          3. 200g milk chocolate — same as above, in pellet form for easy melting
          4. a half cup, maybe less, of caster sugar or sifted icing sugar. If you want, also try Stevia but it tends to taste like arse
          5. two dollops of full fat cream
          6. two spoonfuls of either coconut oil, hazelnut oil, or some other kind of nut oil.

          Steps

          1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees c. Toast dem' nuts on a baking tray making sure they are spread out nicely so they toast evenly. Get them a light golden, but do not overcook or brown them.

          2. while toasting, you can melt the chocolate according to the cooking instructions on the packaging. Could use the bain marie method or the microwve method. Careful not to spoil the chocolate by getting water into it.

          3. Once you have melted chocolate and toasted nuts, you combine the molten choc, nuts, oil, cream and sugar into the food processor. Blitz it until smooth consistency is reached.

          4. Store and allow it to cool down.

        • @jv: Let me explain …

          They trying to sell you a ****load of sugar essentially whilst associating it with nuts because people without a better reference point think that means it's healthy. The ****load of sugar means you consume a lot of it.

          Much like Milo is sold as a sports drink to associate a ****load of sugar with playing sports.

          They would much prefer you didn't gain weight from their products but not as much as they'd prefer you to consume more.

      Product description:

      We’ve just bottled nature’s

      "nature's"? o_0

      guilt-free, dairy-free

      Notice the adjacency of these terms. ¬_¬

      all natural

      Again with the meaningless "natural". I've never seen a chocolate spread of any kind growing out in the wilderness.

      in a resealable jar!

      Is that supposed to be innovative?

      Pure-State Dark Chocolate Super Spread

      ¬_¬

      ‘super’ nuts

      What's "super" about almonds, cashews, peanuts and brazil nuts?

      natural cane sugar

      Commonly known as just "sugar".

      cacao mass, … cacao butter,

      Commonly known as cocoa mass and cocoa butter.

       

      At roughly twice the price and with all that wanky marketing, I think I'll stick with Nutella. :)

      • Obviously going for the Whole Foods twit end of the market.

        The one where they think wooden boxes filled with hay means the product came from an idyllic hobby farm, a vague abstraction of green idiocy where they actually think it came from that picture they just painted themselves and not a factory like all processed food.

      • I didn't promote their marketing, I promoted the ingredients in their product (the first one mentioned), being peanuts and cacao.

        I've never had the second one in the link (and probably never will) but I've heard it tastes great too. You can stick to your Nutella (though I still don't know why you'd pay $8 for mainly just oil and sugar), I can stick to my preferred version of it :)

    I love it when people (like my sister) justify eating vast quantities of nutella by saying it is healthy because it has nuts in it

    • You ain't heard? Adding fruit or nuts = healthy.

    Hello diabetes.

      The sheer amount of fat should suppress blood sugar spikes. This is how I convince myself. Please don't take this as medical advice.

      • +8

        My wife said we should diet….by not buying this I've practically lost 8kgs already. Diet avoided.

      • +3

        The key is to avoid sugar spikes by eating nutella continuously. I am not a doctor, or very smart.

    • Oh, is he gone now? Say hi to him if you see him again.

  • The Nutella tribe in their natural habitat. Loving the Nutella ideas/recipes. Should do this more often.

  • Hey does anyone have a problem with nutella hardening during winter? It makes it hard to spread :(

    • Nuke it for a few seconds maybe?

      • Nutella comes in a plastic jar so I think that's a bad idea. Back in the day they did come in glass jars…

        • Years ago if you nuked the jar or aloud it to melt in hot weather and it harded again, it used to go a little grainy with random hard bits throughout, making it a lot more un-pleasurable to eat via the spoon.

          There are others?

        • @morini: alcohol is the third food group that completes the nourishment triangle.

  • Is our appetite for Nutella destroying the environment?

      Well to be fair the environment isn't destroyed, it's changed.

      The Green movement loves to market the idea of the environment as something unchanging or "pristine" so there is something to break. The reality is the environment cannot be destroyed it can only be changed and further it's always changing regardless.

  • To put this in perspective, Costco sells a twin pack (yup, 2kg) for $16.
    Membership excluded from costs, obviously.

    • And driving costs. You would probably need to eat both jars on the return journey.

  • Can't understand the fuss. $6.50/750g at Coles is only slightly more expensive. And when it's on special………
