    Nutella

    Edit: I am FLABERGASTED at how many people disagree, I genuinely thought this was obvious, pls recommend anything you prefer to nutella (and whether it’s more or less expensive)

        Nutella is the holy one! There’s other good stuff and I don’t say Nutella is better, it’s just in a one-and-only category: if you want Nutella, you buy Nutella, if you want some chocolate cream, you buy what you like best

          I get that, although Nutella has gotten worse in my opinion since they increased the milk powder content relative to the hazelnut content a few years back. So even Nutella isn’t really Nutella anymore in my opinion, therefore I can just as well buy something with more hazelnut centered flavour.

            I am one of the Nutella buyers but even so I would mention that the flavour varies wildly amongst different countries to the point that I now can say I like it from very specific places. Just thought I’d mention that each of us could actually have a slightly different version and not like it as much.

      The really fancy stuff (in Germany, don’t know if it exists somewhere else) is Samba. Nutella is just sweet slime in comparison

        I’ve never had Samba or any other brand of chocolate spread, but I agree Nutella tastes like chocolate slime. It’s as if they melted (vomit flavored) Hershey bars down into a spread.

      In Germany we have Nudossi which has less sugar and a lot more hazelnut. There’s a variation without palm oil so this is what Ive been buying instead of nutella.
